Does it need to become a giant though? If I don't sell large portions to investors, I'd be thrilled with something that makes in profit roughly what a good tech salary pays.

That's fine. It's not a start-up tho

What is it? Some call something like this a muse business, but I'm not sure these two are mutually exclusive

I call it a lifestyle business, have seen this term being used a few times. Which I like and suits me well too

It's a business. If you need to qualify it, I'd go with sustainable, like I used up there.

Startups are something you want to transform, not sustain.

It's probably the fear that your steady business would be eaten by the workaholics.

True, also might depend on the size of your niche. Something like the famous on here bingo card creator probably was pretty safe from this
