Individual writing of a textbook/book
Why do academics write textbooks?
In a textbook, a scholar accumulates the information they possess. Unlike articles, there's no need to frantically squeeze every paragraph to fit within the required space—who knows, perhaps a particular paragraph will be cited and influence the instructor's Google Scholar rating. Citation rates and the h-index demonstrate how successful a scholar is and how popular their ideas are among colleagues (and, moreover, such a researcher will certainly find their way into various universities). However, ratings and work are far from everything. Publishing textbooks can also be beneficial financially.

What are the benefits of publishing a textbook for a scientist?
01.
Books of your own authorship can be posted on websites and sold (the only exception is those materials that are published under a classified heading, which occurs in universities within the Ministry of Internal Affairs system).
02.
Books can be submitted to a competition (this can be held by a publishing house or various ministries; there is usually a prize for the winning entries).
03.
Participation in grant programs from international organizations (here, a prize may also be awarded, or a textbook will simply be another plus in the scientist's collection of achievements, which will increase the chances of competing for a grant).
04.
Closing one of the points of licensing requirements for educational activities.
