why would or should I ever consider giving up a % ownership of that to anyone else?

Nobody gives up any amount of ownership when they license their work with an open source license. They are still the copyright owners. Licensing your work doesn't dilute your ownership of said work. I am not sure if you are arguing about open source licensing in particular, but I do see some conflation with crowdsourcing (why would it matter where your funding comes from? could be from the boogeyman, etc). Also, likewise for anything that uses a creative commons license; the original authors are still the owners of the copyright itself.
