Kinda apples-oranges since your example df doesn't have video.
>what exactly is the motivation behind faking this video?
consider that it might be fake proof-of-life to validate other sources of content. (official death would presumably occur before any scheduled irl appearances) Twitter, books, published unfinished book notes (even a while after official death) and future faked remote lectures (unlikely? maybe an actor with something like what ugly chinese streamers do for beauty falsification)
I think that the highest manipulation value of these are things that you can delay the release of for quite a while. "unfinished works" and "research notes" supposedly compiled actually composed recently, to match the state of the world and goal of the puppeteer.
>Odd eye blinking: Next to the mouth, the eyes are the easiest place to notice something might be off about a video. Eye blinking is a dead giveaway in this regard. Humans have a tendency to blink their eyes at a certain interval, as well as during certain moments of talking. If anything about the eye blinking feels unnatural to you intuitively, chances are that we are dealing with a deepfake video.

The blinking seems the most deepfake thing. They also mention Face distortions, bad audio sync, video blurriness and bad emotional intonation.
I ran it thru an os df detector, but they can just run the same os techniques locally until it gets a low % df result. (which it did)
Who could be responsible? I would put highest likelihood (given df) that the actor has more sophistication than his family angling for more cash and less sophisticated than a worldwide conspiracy. Plausibly a think tank, NGO, foreign power or consultant firm on behalf of the family.
Big business in these kinds of things. If jk rowl died before her last book you can bet they would have kept her embalmed and ghost it out. There are documented merc firms employed within the corporate/NGO espionage sphere engaged in phishing campaigns, there could be one for df management with similar levels of industry penetration and spookiness
