If you deny the very existence of the desire to help others, then of course you can conclude that everything is done out of self-interest. But then that statement no longer means anything.

Then it's no longer an interesting observation that developing free software is often done for self-interest. If that's the case for all actions, then the statement is obvious and trivial.
