I agree. When I started working on the idea that would become my company, I never intended to try to raise capital, etc.
I ended up applying to YC because I saw value in those three months that I'm not receiving in my current situation.
It matters not if I get in (besides maybe a slight ego bruise if I don't.) because I'm going to keep going anyway. Also, I tell people that I'm working full time on the idea, even though I'm not currently making any revenue. People always react weirdly when that (monetary) information comes out, so I typically don't bring it up.
