Oh, I think our reluctance to sell depends mightily on where we are, life-wise. When I had a bookstore, I wouldn't have sold it, either, for any amount of money on the barrel. Now, though, I have over 80K in grad school debts to pay... and a million or more would be really, really hard to pass up -- because it's that, or be paying for the rest of my natural life.
But still, it seems to me that if it's something you want to keep control of, then you write that control into the program from the get-go. Rather than risk having, idk, something catastrophic happen, or just the bleary-eyed daily grind getting your down, at which point cash can start to look far more attractive than the app or business you've created. Better to shut off the risk than assume that it'd never be me who gives into it, at least imo.
