I would be rather upset if I built a successful application, it started bringing in substantial cash, and I couldn't put that in my pocket because I'd taken some money from outside investors, who now expected me to use that cash to scale up the application to something 'venture-capital-sized'.

Applicants to this sort of thing (assuming it works like a normal investment) should be fully aware of what they're getting themselves into - this sounds great for those you want to go big or go home, not so great for everybody else.
