And many of us would. I'm not a founder or a visionary, but I often commented of my former CEO "If I had hundreds of millions of dollars and was in my mid-70s, I sure as hell wouldn't still be running a company, I'd have retired ages ago" ..... followed closely by the comment "and maybe that's why I don't have hundreds of millions of dollars!"
Not everyone has the desire to persist in that same role, particularly as the company evolves with size. For some, the money allows you to walk away and pursue passions that are independent of a need to make money. And/or maybe his passion is starting a new project that MIGHT be a business that MIGHT make money, just like Docker once was.
