Re:Optics, I agree, but I think they would be counterweighted by the dimension of the issue fixed.
To put a hypothetical example, if I fix a life threatening electrical or structural issue in a children's hospital unsolicited, whatever hit to my reputation I take by charging for unsolicited work, is dwarved and possible restored and reversed by the gravity of the issue fixed and the consquences avoided.
Of course this is contingent on whether the value was actually provided and whether it is provable.
