So, if an academic paper is published in an open journal by an average citizen with an obsession for learning from online sources. So, there are no credentials but a decent work history. A prestigious college downloads the paper. What are the possible reasons?

Same reasons anyone else would want to read the paper? Abstract looks germane to someone's research topic there?
