Not my thoughts but society’s. For the “selfishness” think of it as, instead of being altruistic? Or doing something for others’ benefit, it’s self-serving. Especially if the hobby isn’t financially lucrative it’s seen as not spending time to serve society’s economy.

I don’t even know myself about the “greediness”, it’s coming from society, not my thoughts.

Hobbies aren't really meant to be financially lucrative.
