Science research groups often have interesting pictures/videos/graphics which aren't available online. Usually that's seemed a combination of "why bother?", lack of time, and unfamiliarity with open content and copyright ("Sure, I'll email it to you. The license... what do you mean?"). But sometimes, it's windfall dreams. "That wasn't easy to make. And someday, some publisher will need it." So I imagine they might have been telling themselves for years, we have this wonderful asset, costly to make, and "someday...". And then a FOIA request for it shows up.
