I'm assuming the more times the catalogue changes hands, the more gets lost or stolen from the vaults.

It's very easy to steal things that aren't listed or accounted for  ;)

Many of the people who hid their material were the artists and producers themselves, and they WANTED their work put out. But thanks to the level of corporate greed and all the lawsuits, many of them will never see the light of day including a ton of 2Pac tracks.

Anyone who remembers 97 - The geocities days, and magazines will remember all these people (DJ Quik, Ice T, etc.) all these artists talk about how many tracks they had done with 2Pac, and once the Amaru/Interscope law suits went on the power grab from Death Row and anyone who had 2Pac material, those numbers of people claiming to have music with him decreased massively. People even hid and relabelled masters

As far as I know, they plan to license their popular songs from the catalog to movies and TV shows, as well as continue to make money off the sales of existing albums.  But nothing new in the works as far as releasing songs from the vault, either in the form of albums or through iTunes.  Closest thing to that was when they released that 'unreleased' kurupt song to correspond with the soundtrack for that series about Death Row records. 

Dre will never let them release anything, Pac's songs are in even more of a legal mess with Afeni gone, and Snoop doesn't seem to have any interest in his old stuff either.  Face it, the only people that care about this stuff are hardcore fans like us.  They wouldn't make any money releasing albums for any of the rest of the Death Row artists.  A decent amount of the catalog has been leaked over the past 10 years or so, that's the best we're going to get for now.

Then what is the point of purchasing Death Row's catalog? Just to keep it for yourself?
At least another LBC Crew, Snoop Dogg, Dogg Pound CD could be released.

They can make a shit ton of money licensing the hits the label produced in its heyday.

Licensing the released stuff.  Licensing California Love alone for commercials/movies/TV, etc will easily pay for what they paid for the catalog.  They have no interest in the other stuff that came with it, such as Big Pimpin Delmond songs, or BGOTI's unreleased album, etc.
