Being successful pads their ego and fills their pockets -- the more, the better.
Yes, the developers have done and are doing and will continue to do -- more developing.
Why not? They have a good product and a captive audience in the form of ongoing retirees.
And you "suspect" it isn't about money??? Surely, you can't believe that!
They most certainly aren't doing it for the betterment of mankind.
It definitely is about the money!

We all know things based on what WE would do. How WE think about folks who have more money than we do. How we feel about capitalism etc. etc. Some people continue to work when they don't have to.
Money is a good way of keeping track. Many people that I know here in The Villages came alone and left their spouse behind for several years because he/she was reluctant to close the practice, the electrical firm, the pharmacy that employed long term employees.
There is not a damned thing wrong with making money if it isn't done illegally or immorally. If it was just about making money I would have encouraged our grandchildren to steal or deal drugs. Money is nice to have. You can feel secure when you have a goodly amount and you can help others too. Some do it so quietly that you would never know they did and some people are on PBS telling folks they funded this or that foundation. Both good.
Lot of jealousy of financially successful folks I have observed in my lifetime.
