@Bern That's definitely suspicious and my mind went exactly where yours did.
Is it mining crypto or perhaps creating some giant botnet?
I looked around online and couldn't find any information about this but it certainly seems strange.
The only other thing that I can think of is perhaps it helps with ranking their game. If everyone is keeping their PCs on, even if they are not present, I would think the game would rank higher because of the artificially boosted player count. 🤔

@Judeau I didn't think of that last option. Perhaps that's the case - I don't know if the game is purchased with robux, or if there are microtransactions in it - I suspect there are. If so, then, yeah, artificially inflating the player count this way may be lucrative.
