I can't answer for the File Pilot author but I've spent many years on writing a file manager.
* It's fun to write and to use. It's like craftmanship.
* Hopefully some companies/people will realize how many hours they waste using the default OS file manager
* It's less risky than developing a game full time (I think)
* Sure, I lost a lot of money to not having a normal job but my bills are low and my priority is more happiness |

I've come to realize (mainly by reading comments on this very forum) that, for an increasing amount of people, programming is just a job and they don't see it as an art form or a hobby. They genuinely cannot fathom that someone would spend time on ANY project without being paid.
It's very sad but ultimately society couldn't function of we only hired passion-driven programmers, so eh.
