I think too that it is great to have no financial pressure and do amateur breeding. a lot of good stuff came out recently from curious or educated amateur tomato growers. But what to do when you want to do it most of your time, studying deeply genetic, spending time/space/money to grow a lot of segregating populations, ... ? I think that it is not because one enjoys doing a thing of public interest that it could only be done for free. But apparently nobody found a way to reclaim value specifically for OP breeding (not considering created advantage for seed or food production to sell by the breeder)
