If you can't persuade the most capable people to work on something you want/need, whether by showering them with money, wanting/needing interesting things or whatever other methods are available, then you get the second-best results; this is true of any field of endeavor and is just a fact of life. I don't see how observing that interest can beat money for some people is particularly elitist.
