Nice assumption but false, I've never got screwed. People believe how they want to handle clients they way they want. Based on your article doesn't mean everything will follow your ways. And a waste? Not really more of another experience you can do a lot with the code tthat you created sell it and adding it to your portfolio saying that you've did that before. Unless your coding PHP as a life time goal a major business then sure why not, other then that no I feel that way isn't a need. PHP is a hobby not a job the extra money helps out some. Note I've done upfronts before and other times I do it my way it just depends.
