They call this a “lifestyle” business apparently - and part of the issue is that those who do that kind of bootstrapping are often comfortable stopping and some small millions. Who needs more?

"Lifestyle business or scalable business", and "bootstrapping or vc" are largely orthogonal concerns. Not completely as there's basically no path to taking VC funding to build a lifestyle business. But the converse does not hold - you can certainly bootstrap a company that is meant to grow into far more than a "lifestyle company". Is it easy? No, but nothing worth doing ever is...
