To sow fear, obviously.
There are numerous reasons to do so, from the simple desire to feel superior by trolling everyone else into panic, to driving perceived competition to quit or covering your own tracks or getting people to waste time and money making themselves look ridiculous.
Pretending people are rational and/or do things for the same motivations as you is just silly, narrow and naive.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
