I write add-ons because I enjoy the challenge of solving problems using explicit logic, and because something about the game interface bugged me and I had the means to fix it.
I release my add-ons because I figure other people might have the same complaints and might appreciate my solutions, and because I enjoy getting kudos for my work.
I don't ask for money because then I would expect myself to code and maintain to a professional standard, and I don't consider my lua skills or code maintenance ability to be professional-grade. Also, I consider my add-on writing to be part of my ESO-playing hobby, and I don't expect to get paid for my hobbies.
