Only people who are generating returns on investments, have an economic incentive to actively invest more money and effort, as they can reinvest some or all of the returns, without eating away at the principle. Bitcoin financing discourages this, as it is nearly impossible to find investments that can reliably return more (in purchasing power) than Bitcoin.

If they are not generating returns, there is no profit motive and they will only invest enough to not upset the donors, and force people to jump over hoops for the money.

For-profit companies will actively go out and seek investment opportunities and they have an incentive to make those investments profitable. That is why profit is essential to sustainably growing a market.
