The feeling I always got from these vigilante pedo hunters is that they don't really care about victims of CSA, because if they did, they would actually help children and victims. They want to exert power over someone and live out a violent fantasy, and nobody is gonna come to the defense of a pedophile, so they make good targets. They don't actually improve anything or make anyone safer. They humiliate someone with a sense of moral superiority, knowing that they will face no consequences for it.
There is a short essay I read by someone (can't recall the name) where he was talking about his career as a newspaper editor, and that they never got more violent letters to the editor about what the writers would do to the perpetrator than after they ran a particularly nasty story about some animal abuse. People love their moral high ground.
