Why does this matter to the NSA? They're not a for-profit company and their needs are surely different to for-profit companies so why would they optimize anything on sales?

Unfortunately, there just aren't many good metrics for future potential scientific value. It's not like you can just give NSA / DARPA / NIH one impact factor, as weird as that sounds.
