I'm surprised you as a typeface designer are not interested in what end-users(aren't they the customers?) are saying about the font. This means, assuming good intent, that's not where the money is coming from.

Can someone shed some light on who pays typeface designers and what are the incentives like?

I think he meant he's the designer of _this_ typeface. Not in general. And for _this_ typeface as a labour of love why shouldn't they disregard user feedback when they made it for their own purposes.

Can it not just be something that's done for fun, for the benefit of whoever made it?

Sometimes, people do things for fun.
