In the OPCA world, they don't have to have anything to gain. They could have everything to lose and they'll still do it. That's why so many of us view them as "crazy" even if they don't fit the official definitions of said designation.
As just one of many examples, take the Volks. If they truly believed in the religious position of not paying interest, they had a way out of their debt whereby they ended up paying as little interest as possible
and walked away with the equity they had invested in their house. They could have sold their house on the market and paid the outstanding balance of the mortgage - simple solution.
Instead they choose to stop paying anything and lost the house - and if memory serves correct, they lost the equity in the house as well.
