Makishima is obviously interesting to them because Sibyl is unable to understand him. If he is added to the system, then Sibyl will gain more understanding of humanity.
For someone whose complaining about other people speculating, you're doing quite a bit of it yourself. Touma outlined ONE specific kind of of outlier individual who the Sibyl system desires, Asymptomatic latent criminals, and we only have evidence of one possible selection process for how they find such individuals.

You're the one postulating that the Sibyl collective recruits other types of individuals significantly different than Makishima, despite there being no direct evidence for that hypothesis. It hardly seems in line with what Touma outlines as the #1 requirement even before mentioning Asyptomatic criminals.

The first qualification to be a constituent member of the Sibyl System is to have an irregular personality that doesn't fit in with mankind's conventional standards. Without aimlessly empathizing with others, without being lost to emotion, you should be able to oversee human actions from an outsider's viewpoint.
The last bit sounds ALLOT like a sociopath. And if you had traits like that and DIDN'T happen to be a criminally asymptomatic individual...well have fun getting gibbed by an enforcer, or drugged out of your gills in a medical prison.

The only person who can get away with having these kinda traits under the Sibyl system is a criminally asymptomatic individual...and the only way to diagnose THAT is for a criminally asymptomatic individual to be caught committing violent crime with a crime coefficient under 100.
