In the past: everyone wanted the easy money. There’s probably a good opportunity for this now given tech layoffs and the pivot to AI. The best model is probably a variant of FOSS + paid support/consulting/hosting. I think I came across a couple of co-ops doing this in the past but they didn’t heavily advertise their structure.

Nobody will get rich from it but you could build a decent life.
