Open journal question regarding Cosmology paper (lemmy.world)

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?

Or - and that is just hypothetical- they want to show it to their colleagues smirking and saying “get a load of this guy”.
