Commissario
If this is something that has happened in the middle of a major town, you may have a point. However, it was placed in an extremely remote part of the Utah desert, only easily accessible by helicopter, put together not by one man but likely by a team. Not only that, it has been there undiscovered for over four years and no-one knows who put it there or why. It is a highly unusual event. Your reason for its existence, ostensibly, for attention-seeking, is merely an assumption and based on nothing whatsoever other than personal opinion.
Bear in mind the clear, obvious links to 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is considered by many to be the finest film of all time, and it's clear to see why there is a cultural link to extraterrestrials which would interest and intrigue many people the world over.
Yeah I did have a google of him, he'll be the guy the for sure.
Probably just a copycat, and conceptually linked more than anything. There will probably be more of them sprouting up now, and they'll get less coverage.
The original person did a great job of creating a mystery. Monolith stays in desert for four years, finally discovered then disappears days later - no known culprit or reason. Nicely done.
