> What will he do with them anyways?

He'll sell them to a state actor. Even if something is non-monetary, if someone with money wants it, it can be monetized.

If you're gonna go to that amount of trouble then why not steal everything, including CC numbers and why not target everyone, not just specific states?

I think the point is that doing this is riskier, and more difficult than just stealing CC numbers and such.
