Likely, after Trump installed Patel, Patel convinced Trump he could extract favors and information much more usable from the Clients on the list, or know who and what those on the list could’ve been talking about at what time.
There’s likely many more Democrats on that list than Repubs. It’s not in Trump’s nature to defend his opposition just because their powerful after the crap they pulled on Trump between 2020-2024.
If the list was revealed PR damage would be temporary, but the funds and influence of the clients would still exist as Zuckerberg and the Clintons showed. Clinton may have had huge baggage, horrific tiers of insider and meetings-behind-closed-door corruption, but the DNC still made her candidate in 2016, and managed “to have her win the popular vote.”
