I don't think that it was money - according to Remus, Ollivander was the best - but because people in this society need wands, he could have a wand choose them, but they had to choose what to do with it.
I can definitely see your point. For artisans and craftspeople who have reached a certain level of excellence in their chosen field, the work is its own reward – any effects or situations that offshoot from the work is of secondary importance to them. He makes the wands; what the buyers choose to do with the wands that choose them, as you say, is up to them.
Once the wand chooses a buyer, the situation is out of his hands and he simply carries on doing what he does best.
