I honestly think that's included because this is literally just a database dump of everything associated with each user profile. A lot of this appears to be direct "this is what the front-end calls from the back end when loading this part of the site" stuff, including actual variable values and things, and so I think that wound up in there simply because they pulled everything user-facing just in case someone winds up with some reason it's useful.
The only thing I see which actually has formatting attached is the "find-your-friends" function they included, which is clearly assembled as a way to make the raw data more accessible to people (and is a nice touch, I'm glad they did that). Everything else appears to literally be a "call" to the database which returns everything associated with your username - that's probably why there isn't the linked content from comments and rechosts, since those aren't associated with your individual user ID in the back-end.
(Sorry, this is kind of complex. To put it more simply and discard the jargon: they didn't do any formatting to most of this compilation, they just asked the database for everything with your "name" on it and put it all together. That's why there isn't any linked context for most of it. Which makes sense, because they had to compile one of these for every user and they're not getting paid at this point for anything cohost-related. It's honestly kind of them to include things like the profile information of the people we were following, since that's not actually linked to our own usernames and required extra database queries to make work for each export. And especially the formatted page for people who don't know how to parse the raw data easily. Somebody did that for free just because they were being nice to everybody.)
