it's the money part. there's a big difference between doing tech to make money and making money to do tech. It's about finding a purpose that's not just "accumulate maximum cash" with some thin veil on it. Lots of things fit this unless you want to be insanely cynical and reductive. You can always construct some conspiracy theory about how say, someone working for Debian or at say the EFF is really, secretly, trying to pad their resume and, even if they don't admit it, chase after wealth with some future lucrative payout, but people in practical terms, have different motives. Some people work on say, astronomical data, because they want to work on astronomical data. They like having a roof over their head, but they're not looking for it to be made with gold. Choose what you work on wisely with caution and discretion. If you want a yacht and a bugatti, go for it, have fun. But if you don't, then, really, just don't.
