Because I'm utterly, utterly selfish; allow me to explain: A dollar, euro, naira, deutschmark, ruble, yuan or yen has an imprint of life and context based on its' cultural origins (and the minter who produced it). My business project (still a side-project at the moment, effectively) is imprinted -- to the git commit-level -- with the authorship of myself (and hopefully other contributors in future). Given the choice between offering that software DNA (including, admittedly, plenty of faults) to other people to use and remix as they like, or to trade it for monetary units that are relatively-characterless in compensation -- even a billion such monetary units -- well, it's not really a choice that requires much consideration. (regardless of the choice, the two options are equivalent at a technology/runtime level; they're a series of compute instructions that run locally or over a network to achieve result(s))
