There's no profit they can get from it... unless that profit is some twisted form of self-gratification, but that's unlikely. Is LE doing this? If so, how often does this happen?
Why the fuck would individuals start DDOSing DNMs?

Not very accurate, look up DD4BC he was taking money from clearnet Bitcoin businesses and doing well for himself.
I'm more suprised that you are surprised people would try to run exotortion rackets on criminal businesses that have no recourse.
From my experience, all but like 3 markets are run by amateurs using cheap VPS servers and have no idea what they are doing. Seems like easy targets.
Its not new either, read Ulbrich's journal, he paid out extortion money regularly to keep his business running smooth. Its just part of the cost of doing business if you don't have the abilities required to stop it.

It's the only way LE is able to prevent the customers to reach the vendors.
I think that LE is actually DDOSing the DNMs as a part of their plan to stop the craze.

This question can only be answered from your parents make shift basement apartment by a person who only sees pussy through an lcd screen.
It could be other market administration trying to funnel traffic to their dnm. It could be some black hat hacker trying to get a btc ransom. Could be LE. Who knows.
