Yes, that is a nice way of phrasing it, which aligns with Social experience design (SX) and Hedonic peer production.

The underlying philosophy is based on the acknowledgement of the importance of self-interest in collaborative arrangements. The the notion that it is okay to pursue self-interested motives when participating with others, because this leads to the highest *intrinsic* motivation to participate.

Participation is literally a value investment then, in hopes of getting even more value in return.

Another important aspect is stating to others what ones self-interests are, so that reciprocal participation becomes easier, and also - most crucially, I suppose - there's clarity on commitments and mutual expectations.

I think lack of 'expectation management' is a big flaw that keeps FOSS from becoming more sustainable, for instance. FOSS is just software + software freedoms. SX places SOSS as its sustainable delivery pipeline:
