The main reasons have already been mentioned.. compensation, feedback to the CEO, etc.. but an interesting one that I just saw, and I don’t know if it’s possible, appeared on the TV Show Succession (HBO) where the family's stock in the company (which they control but not by much) secures a loan that the lender can call if the stock drops below a certain price.

Yes, there is. according to this (https://techcrunch.com/2019/09/25/netdata-a-monitoring-start...):

"In addition to the open-source version of the product, there is a SaaS version, which also has what he calls a “massively free plan.” He says the open-source monitoring agent is “a gift to the world.” The SaaS tool is about democratizing monitoring and the pay version is even different from most monitoring tools, charging by the seat instead of by the amount of infrastructure you are monitoring."

Identity theft is not a joke, Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!
