i think only for fun. because only with claiming no one can become Satoshi. i think they are doing because they just want to get fame.

Probably to be famous and get a lot of attention from people
and also to gain some money for exclusive interviews etc.

Excellent question, answer: they wouldn't. One would expose oneself to an asston of risk, ESP if satoshi doesn't live in an established country. A corrupt gov or organized crime could take it all.

In other words, no one has an incentive to make this claim. Distrust those that do.

Fame and from there making money would be the only logic reason I think. Which is naive since we all know the got a lot of bitcoins already.
And being satoshi would mean you could prove it. If you can't prove it, it's prety stupid.

Maybe they want to be a popular all over the world.  because they will be like a sky rocket that media or any social network will spread out
 at once until they get the Fame.

There are always people who want to claim that they are the maker of the bitcoin and that is not really strange because people want to own the bitcoin because the prise is rising like a idiot i see why they want to be satoshi XD

I mean, just to appear on the news around the world or what exactly?

At this point of time every one wants to be Satoshi or wish they are the guy with all the fortune associated with being Satoshi but they need to prove that they are indeed Satoshi 100% because the world will not satisfy with the fake one..
