Theres a lot more going on.
People like Spoongraphics and Nik are doing this to earn a living.
The tutorials on tutsplus.com, for example, solely exist to sell assets they have in their store.
Gimp doesnt sell anything. I guess its because of the open source ethos, but also because unlike PS, Gimp doesnt have in-build functions that could be sold.
PS has actions and styles, that let you create an (editable) effect with a mouseclick.
Just imagine every plug-in or script you installed had to be payed for....
Some people are interested in offering help to spread Gimp as a free alternative to PS, Corel, etc.
Some people write tutorials for the feedback they get from their community.
Some people want to push the boundaries of what can be done with Gimp.
But for a lot of people Gimp is just a hobby and not a profession.
It also seems to me that for a lot of people, Gimp is a community in itself.
Just look at GC, that site is basically a virtual village or even family.
