The supposed value is ridiculous yet damage to the wall seems on the low side.
It might have blown down anyway in Storm Darragh and lifted a big piece of wall into the air on root ball.
It would eventually become an issue - too near wall anyway.
But no idea why they'd want to do it why take such a risk it's obvious there'd be an uproar.

The fun fact is, sycamores were introduced to the UK in the post-Roman era. So it's actually a non-native invasive species.

Britain has a shit ton of introduced species some good some not.
and they're not all in Kew gardens.
Go to your local park and you'll likely find some examples

Native or not, lots of people liked that somewhat iconic sycamore
and its senseless felling really pissed them off.

What should happen is the wood from the tree gets processed, built into a scaffold and hang them from it. True justice*

* If found guilty of course.

I’d never heard of this tree but still… two grown men (32 and 39) went out of their way to do this hoping to upset people for their own entertainment. Couple of weirdos.

Should be taken out and fucked by a gorilla for utter stupidity. Why? 15 minutes of fame? They will be going down for it because the tree huggers will demand the ultimate penalty.
