How many working people are doing it not because of the money but solely because they enjoy the work?
Sounds like you don't know the story of core-js. Any popular open-source is basically unsustainable without profit.

I work for money. While I enjoy my work. I wouldn’t do it for free. I have to eat, pay a mortgage, etc.
Hell even if I wont the lottery. I wouldn’t do this job for free and it’s a really good job.
I would (and do) work on my own projects for free.
