Maybe people who see moderate success turn it in to a full time job, and it stops being a side hustle.

Sure. There are best selling authors who started out writing in the evenings. My point though is that it's a very small proportion of those who try who parlay music/fiction writing/video/etc. into even a median household income full-time job (say $50K/year in the US).
