As a developer that has closed source free programs and has run open source programs, sometimes I just don't want to deal with the extra effort of having to manage an open source project. This is usually true when I'm building something for myself but then share (for free) where I think others might enjoy using.

Well, open-sourcing doesn't mean you have to manage anything, it's perfectly fine to say you don't take any external contribution and expect people to fork the project if they want to.
