    I can't speak for the author, but in my case, I love to make my
    own versions of things simply to learn how the particular vulnerability
    is effected or manifested on a lower level. Also, for exploits that
    are very straight forward, it is satisfying seeing the time that it
    has taken to develop code. Then, I compare that time frame to previous
    projects and see how my style develops and progresses into more
    elegant solutions. Sometimes, it's simply a "why not?" situation.
