Exactly. You do probably lose income from a small percentage of dedicated hobbyists who're determined to use it for free and self-host, but those are probably not your core target market anyway.
And I think many of those people are the kind of people likely to add their own features and contribute them back, and making it easier makes to fork & self host makes that far more likely.
