This applies to the other Vault 7 releases as well. It is very odd as there is no clear message or motive on their end, just dumping of info which could potentially cause harm (diplomatically, or to actual personnel in the two cases where they did not properly redact CIA employee names).

That might be a little extreme. Vault 7 demonstrated that the US government has been hoarding vulnerabilities to consumer electronics which allows spying without warrants and leaves the owners at risk.
