There's a pretty robust tradition of trying to decipher the motivations of the wealthy and powerful going back to, idk, ecclesiastes at least. I don't think they're claiming to have a novel or unique insight into anyone's mind, just an exposure to the patterns of behavior of similarly motivated people over time. It remains a useful point despite your attempt at dismissing it as inherently preposterous. Dorsey pursues certain things likely to make him richer, yet most people do not see how he could derive more value from being richer. Resolving this tension will probably give insight into what he's likely to do and how it may affect us, a power he truly does have. It's neither foolish, nor useless, nor hubris for them to offer that guess, unlike your comment which was all three.
