It does make sense to find organics and volatiles on the Ceres surface. Billions of years of gradual attraction. Slowly gathering mass as it gently sweeps up ices and dusts and pebbles sharing it's orbital vectors.
A space-going version of Glacial Ice Accumulation. Including losing some mass to ablation from radiation and getting battered by cross-trafficking debris.
That would assist the unconfirmed claims that maybe a few of the meteors collected on Earth may have been originally knocked off one or more of the larger Belt Asteroids.
And it is useful to learn methods to detect if organic materials are of biological or non-bio origin. Provides a database where exaggerated claims can be checked against with some assurance of accuracy.
