The focus of Systems Administration is quite different than that of development. It's a more conservative perspective, while development often has a more flexible, dynamic perspective. SysAdmins are happiest when they never have an emergency. We've got a couple of openings for good clients right now. Great SysAdmins that want to work in an place where their skills are appreciated and where they can grow, should send us their resumes. We see more different sorts of systems than you can see at a single site. tummy.com is a boutique Linux System Administration company, that’s been around for over 10 years.

Then they get hired by a single company (Mozilla Corp and GNi come to mind). There's enough demand for people with that kind of experience that they don't seem to end up in a position where they'd want to start their own business. I also suspect the sysadmin frame of mind that puts stability at the top of the list applies to where they look for jobs, too.
