It is being offered as an option, not being stolen.

I want to make millions of dollars so that I can build schools for children, why are you limiting the value of my effort and creation?

Because there is a 99% chance that you are going to fail. Sorry but your card game isn't going to save the world, let's not wreck it while trying.

You don't even know what my card game is.

It's a decentralized uncensorable poker game with no rake that makes money from light client-side mining of relatively cpu efficient coins - you don't think I can build a single school from that?
