I mean if you want to live off your work, then of course you're a business.
Or if you want to get money without all the fundraising hassle, get a salaried job.
Basically you want to work in open source on whatever you want, not have to listen to users, not have to find funds, and still be paid for it?
If what you bring has an immense value, like nodejs where pretty much all the internet runs on it, you shouldn't have to scrap by or need fundraising skills.
