> Why bother when there is no money involved

Because you want to make something useful and helpful for the world? Personal satisfaction? Passion? Necessity?

Granted, those are no arguments to work for free in a world where operating a business and keeping yourself fed cost money, but if somehow those weren't concerns, I can assure you people would still have plenty of motivation to innovate still.
