I totally agree with you. After getting back into the hobby back in July I didn't expect everyone to have a business. When I had eggs(I bred colubrids) hatch I just sold them at my local meetings or whatnot. I never thought I would get rich quick. A few thoughts popped into my mind about getting a couple Albino Burmese, but that was only to get more of what I loved, reptiles.

It's okay to make a little change from your hobby or even have a business but the main focus should be about the animals.

There are a few folks in the hobby that I really admire and I think we all should do our part in taking the steps of helping people realize that these animals that we keep are truly amazing.

As far as the market goes....to be completely honest it won't affect me regardless. I am in this hobby for the animals not the cash flow.
