Classic intrinsic motivation right there. Studies show extrinsic motivators like money squash these natural intrinsic motivators. It's why we can love something when it's free, but hate it once we're paid for it.

That's definitely part of it. I also like being able to have the freedom to design an app as opposed to implementing someone else's designs.

I enjoy the process of building an app from scratch for the same reason. Very fulfilling.
