Content: All serious writers want and need the affirmation that sales (readership) provide. It takes a lot of work to write something that is perceived as “good” but in the end is worth it—even if it’s unrewarding financially. Being able to entertain, educate and provoke thought is what writing is all about. Vivek

Purpose of writing a book can be many
Write because no one has time to listen and you might have a story to tell - and the joy of writing. What a platform. I know someone who wrote a book dedicated to a lost friend. Not a best seller but was so touched by the effort and the reason. It can be same as breathing for some people - lot of writers wrote as that's all they wanted to do. Its lucrative for some - good publisher, a mass appealing subject, one best seller can do wonders. This is a later stage.
