It's a form of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) that's rooted in some personal insecurity. Some people can walk away from temptations of great wealth and power but I can also see how many people can't.

You’re attacking people as if every one has the same motivation and every one is only self serving.

I’d like people who are in opportunities like this and can’t retire for life if they wanted to, to make a quick million or what have you because I don’t enjoy our status quo of how society functions.

It's such a common capitalist concept that a word was invented for it: Monetize.
