There are sites running our software that I know for a fact have changed hands for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

bro that is why i switched PornCMS to included hosting awhile ago. all those people getting your updates for free and reselling their sites also pay monthly for hosting. bundle the hosting and you can at least get some recurring income.
providing the hosting also lets you do other things like share resources between sites. we have a couple dozen streaming media servers and all sites get to use them. so even a little $50 a month site will have fast streaming video.
i also built dedicated video conversion servers and download servers. none of that overhead is on the front-end servers or media servers.
if you don't provide hosting, you are putting your client's server management in the hands of some hosting company that gives zero shits about the end user experience. a dedicated host isn't looking at your log files or your passfiles for problems. they are only watching their machines. your machines are there to serve the visitors!
we built a comprehensive security system that looks at each site and server log every minute, then looks at the whole network for bigger problems. we catch password sharing and hackers at the network level and ban them from media access within minutes. those Chinese intrusion attacks happening to every adult site all day long? we send them to hell within minutes. they never affect the end user experience.
in my opinion, you need to provide hosting too
