Because Kirito's honorable..
The seed is a tool, of which he just happened to come into possession. He didnt create it, nor would he use it to create other things. Any profit he might've made off of it would be a result of basically just being a gatekeeper - barring others - people who would actually use it to create things - from accessing it unless and until they paid him. And that's a fundamentally dishonorable way to make money.
Kirito was always a naïve idealistic little shit so it fits. He values his ego more than money. I love the way he was portraited in the abridged series that expanded on his ego even more.
