You keep trying to reinterpret other posts here as some denigration of the wish to make money from your work - but I've seen none of that. We would all like to make money from our writing (well, most of us would, I think).
The distinction is only whether a person has the desire to write even if they make very little money. And since this will be the case for most writers, and pretty much always has been, so it's a pretty good assumption to make before you start.
