They didn't really "need" the infrastructure as they have an infrastructure using other carriers.
They can now of course migrate themselves onto the C&W network, but of course they now have all the costs associated with owning and maintaining a core fibre network, whereas in the past they didn't have to worry about that.
They bought the network for the business customers, as they will now be able to sell a bundled fixed line and mobile offering.

I can see vodafone keeping the submarine cable assets but charging extortionate rates for any business to use them.

I can't see it, I may be proven wrong but I just don't see how the submarine assets, many of which are not wholly owned, fit in with Vodafone.
