> Why should _anyone_ undertake the legal risk, monetary cost and development time burden for maintaining a public tracker?

Try a more extreme example: why should anyone undertake the legal risk, monetary cost and logistical hassle of hiding Jews from the SS? It's not some psychopathic business decision; it's because some people stubbornly insist on doing the right thing despite it being unpopular, illegal, and clearly a bad idea.

If someone does manage to turn a profit doing it that's (all else being equal) great, but it's not the point.
