Open source won't pay most people's bills.

True, and even if they get close to people your bills the job will not be forever. I have seen many shops that hired people to do open source and after 2 years of "showing-off" that they contribute to open source, they let them go.

having my open source work as a free hobby.

I used to do a lot open source as hobby but my free time is very limited. I think companies should encourage people to do open source, within the companies time.
