This happens with World of Warcraft, too. Someone makes an AddOn which enhances WoW with a great feature. Then after some time, Blizzard incorporates the feature in the base game, and the AddOn is obsoleted. I've seen this happen numerous times over the years.

Not exactly the same thing. I'm not aware of the details regarding AddOns in WoW but I don't think you can monetize from them.

  There used to be sold addons at one point (it's possible but piracy is extremely easy), but Blizzard made paid addons a TOS violation.

  Not directly, but the addon repositories have good SEO and they run ads.
