Seller can see the potential if others (with different/more experience) are brought on board to implement new ideas and generate more revenue.

Option A: Retain 100%, and profit $500K over 2 years

Option B: Retain 20%, take $100K of profits, but create an opportunity for uplifting the revenue potential.

Seller took Option B, and now owns 20% of a business generating $1M+ each year (so his share is now $200k revenue), with more time on his hands.

In Option B the seller was paid $400K, not $100K.
