You should accept the fact that market sets the price (supply and demand). Expecting that the whole market will act exactly as you would like is what you can call being selfish :-)
Except there is no market at the moment, that's what this whole argument is about. Bigger exchanges give coins volume and exposure, which lead to more miners and investors. Which in turn motivates the devs to work harder cause their coin is then actually worth something and they are justified to spend more time/effort on the development.
