The idea of 'selling out' itself is an artifact of Romanticism, combined with the social idealisms of the 60s. It's not thinking very deeply to advise people not to sell out, there are more intricate things going on than the romantic idealization of "let's be poor and happy". I also want to point out that it's a bit irritating to be told to not strive harder by someone who's already got "FU" money.
