I’m curious as to what reward you believe that people are getting from closing questions?

there's a bunch of badges for things that can only be accomplished by flagging.

You also get the nice 'feeling' of clearing your queue. The faster you do that the better you feel. It's literally all rewards for putting as little effort in to get as much 'reward' as possible.
