Plus most people are doing it for free, and only being paid by the personal enjoyment of creating it themselves. You never know how prepared your GM staff is to take on the trials the server may bring up.
I had this happen recently too, I created a fast rate PvP EXP server and the population got bigger than I had ever anticipated. I ended getting stressed out, since I was the sole designer of the project and finding myself flooded with bugs I couldn't resolve, and had to take the project down.
It was a learning experience for me, one that I leave saying never take on a full project by yourself. Unless you have no life and know your stuff before hand! I upset quite a few people with this project, and I some what regret it, but my biggest regret was that I thought it would be easier than it really was, and said things that didn't fruit to reality.
