I can see your point.
Having "hacked together" multi-instance link-play (in MAME) for my wingwar cabinet, I got to some point where it fits _MY_ needs (my wingwar is fully functional now). I get asked by several people if I could also take a look at game X or game Y.
Basically the same goes for Soft-15kHz - at first it was a pure "proof-of-concept". Then I got ambitious, and adapted more and more drivers and video cards (currently have over 200 different VGA cards in a huge box...). At some point, I lost that driving interest in the project, as it simply "works for me".
(guess I should release the sources to the public anyway ^^)
I don't know if being paid for it would do the trick though.
(One can still send donations for Soft-15kHz)

On the other hand, that's where the community comes into play.
Most likely there are other developers in the community who would love to do a GUI/Frontend/whatever to make it fit their needs.
Closing the source won't do the trick here.
I do all that stuff even without a Joystick
