Sunk cost fallacy at work here. Yes, side projects may never pay back dev investment, but if you have already written all that code and invested, then you should not use that as a cost factor to make decisions about the future.

That's not the sunk cast fallacy.

The time you spend on developing previous side projects (which saw minimal return) should absolutely be a factor in deciding whether to start new ones.
