I have projects that I could change from an open source CLI to a subscription SaaS, but what's the point of that? That's what Silicon Valley is doing and I hate it. I'm not desperate enough for money to do that. The other part is that bootstrapping a business to the point where you can quit your dayjob - while still working at your dayjob - is very difficult.
