1. The purpose of these exemplars

These exemplars were not written to illustrate a particular level of attainment. They haven't been given a mark. Nor were they written to give the definitive correct answer to the set question. They were written for pupils to illustrate how they might take the material from their notes and from class discussions and mould that material into an essay answer. They were intended to be used as part of feedback after the pupils had attempted to write the essay for themselves.

Teachers are best placed to know what material they have covered with their classes and what topics have come up in class discussions. Individual teachers, therefore, are in the best position to write such illustrative essays for their own classes and that might be more useful than simply issuing essays that were written for a different class who had different notes and different discussions.
