I agree with this sentiment, it's why I personally choose not to contribute to UE4.

I want to see a profit sharing or bug/feature bounties either from Epic with Unreal Engine, or from a competitor.

A side note: I thought it would make for a cool platform, where a website "hosted" products/projects and users put up bounties for things they want fixed or features they want. Alternatively, a platform for small companies/projects that sell software licenses but are otherwise open source, where it's open about what the company/project is making, and a share of the profits can be split among the community contributors.

[Edit] I just posed the question here: https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/332100/can-epic-g...

Sounds like Bountysource (https://www.bountysource.com/).
