I think you're talking about two different things here.

Certainly, it's "nobody's business" if you profit off of a hobby. (Except maybe the IRS, and that's a whole different ball game.)

It becomes someone's business when you're profiting off of someone's original creation (excluding public domain works). Of course you contributed your own idea and work, but you weren't authorized to base those things on the original creation, and you weren't authorized to profit off of it either.

I'm not sure why you think jealousy and entitlement to free work are the only reasons someone would be against this.

And the older I get, the less I get complacent about how things were in the past. Just because nobody did a cease-and-desist back when fandom was more underground doesn't mean they aren't thinking about it now as fanworks become more known. Obviously, I'm not saying what will happen either way. I'm just saying it's easy to say something would never happen until it does.
