I think it's the same with Umineko. Right now many people probably have theories that correctly answer all the "who" and "how".

I do believe that Umineko has also included hints of motive. The sin of Battler was probably one of the hints. Umineko differs from Higurashi that all people involved have deep bonds or blood relationships, common motives like money or power would not be used in Umineko. In fact, I think motives in Umineko played a key role in appreciating this work, therefore readers are supposed to be able to figure out whydunit in Umineko.
