It also reduces the incentive to interact and communicate with other developers.
Interoperability lowers the development costs and effort dramatically because you can just use and reuse each others' stuff. It also gives you an incentive to actively promote *other people's* products and actively seek out interaction with them.
If money is no option, why bother? And why bother caring about interoperating with the wider network? The two or three biggest projects can just drive everything.
And that's how you quickly recreate corporatism in FOSS. FOSS has its own sort of money printer.
