What do hackers use data breaches for?

I was wondering what do people usually do with the data breaches they download from forums like breached. The databases have lots of personal information like names, emails, phone numbers but obviously almost never passwords due to encryption. So I was curious trying to figure out what are they mostly used for.. I doubt it’s just for educational purposes, I bet people want to make money off it.

Are they going after the email lists to do some spamming/phishing? I’m just a curious beginner so that’s the only explanation I could think of

Unclear what exactly it achieves, but I can’t seem to sandbox it & I’m not sure if it’s malicious enough to steal any info & or give access right off the jump, or it’s just some ad pusher redirect. I have noticed, however, that this domain in particular has TONS of other links similar to it under the guise of HTML links.
