There are a lot of people who enjoy drawing animals that find that their works can sell to the fandom without being in the fandom.
A convention is indeed a business gathering by premise in the world outside of furry. Furrys, obviously, don't typically treat it as a professional affair. It doesn't surprise me that there are exceptions to this rule.
Also, as I have discussed before the word, furry has extreme ambiguity. There are some that enjoy creating and consuming anthropomorphic works who don't see themselves as part of the social group that call themselves furries. So they are not "furry", but they are "furry".
AKA, they like Star Trek, but they're not a "Trekkie".
