Exactly this. I have several hobby projects that use the same skill set as my job, because I enjoy doing it.

I would quit my job on the spot and spend much more time on my other projects if I didn't need the money.

The same kind of thinking that gets you to people needing the threat of burning in a pit for eternity to behave ethically.
