I stopped asking this question years ago. I’m taking it for granted now that a given percentage of people who pick up a camera assume that the obvious outcome is to make money with it.
The obvious fact of course is that ‘running a business’ and ‘taking photographs’ is a Venn diagram with such a slim overlap that from a distance the sphere’s would appear to not touch. But some people don’t see it that way
I found this out the hard way, at one point I had £10K worth of gear and thought this was all I needed to make a bundle! Had the website, contacts, renewed confidence, experience [enough at least] support etc ... Did a few weddings and was like "I'm out, F that! engineering is easier!"
