1) they can afford funds on there own to run there projects and stop relying on softcaps and hardcaps(investors money) which is why its the perfect haven for scammers ,you want to create a project that is very promising and you don't have the funds just move on ,no matter how good the project is if the hardcap is not achieved its goodbye
2)the waiting game is annoying ,if they follow my 1st idea there won't be anything holding them back especially bounty rewards ,nowadays you have to wait months for ICO to end and keep praying it become successful so as to get your rewards and the term successful from any ICO is from 'achievement of hardcaps ' this days not what the project is here to deliver ,there are still good projects out there that never launch ICO and they are doing better
I like your thinking, indeed if the developer has at least the funds for the initial development, I think they think too much about softcaps or hardcaps. so no matter how much money they get they will still run the project. so there is no longer a very long and extended ico.
they always think of achieving their project targets, after that they always don't care for the next development when the target softcap or hardcap is reached I mean this is only a team that is not serious. in fact, the team should be very concerned about the project they manage and the next stage of development when it's already on the stock exchange.
