We were in a similar situation and considered it.

There is quite a trail of minor problems:

Eg.

Legal implications with investors/shareholders/etc

(Unlikely but) Potential security issues

Fixing the code to a level that other people can run it

Documenting the code to a level that other people understand how to run it (eg dependencies on services around it)

And i am pretty sure there are many more.

All solvable problems but in most cases come in a moment when a founder has already ran too far and is out of cash/time/energy to tackle those.
