Having been in charge of people and things most of my life, I would be very careful about dealing with sexuality in the current climate. In a way it is like juggling knives. As much as I would enjoy the creative side and can think of wonderful and interesting sexual stuff, I wouldn't want the responsibility and the danger it would now seem to entail.
Dear webmasters: I love you for your dedication and you can have my ideas for free, just put out a "suggestion box."

Sure, that would be a dream, but the reality is the days of making tons of money off of a website are likely over. Now if I could have been the guy who bought PornHub and turned that into what it has become...

I might have aspirations of directing a porn scene but I have no desire to own a porn site.

I was once asked if I wanted to invest in a then-popular strip club. I thought about it and decided to pass. The club was gone a year later.
Producing a quality web site these days takes money. A lot of money. And the revenue stream is only as good as the continuous flow of content. Now, if somebody asked me if I wanted to invest, say, $50k in Met-Art, I'd think about it after seeing the books.
And the term "owner" here is a bit of a misnomer. There are really not much in the way of assets to own. All the physical or virtual assets are leased, the talent is contracted and everything, even the content, has roughly a 5 year useful life. It is a business.
That said, if you know of a site that scores 90 or above here on PU that is for sale with management intact, I'd like to know about it. I was lucky enough to retire very early and could always use another hobby with the potential to break even.

Not now. The technology is moving way too fast (8k, VR, etc.) which means a lot of capital investment without a guaranteed return. Yes, the big guys who began their enterprises when it was a whole lot simpler had a subscriber base that they had to satisfy and could do so with incremental acquisition of the hardware. (Servers aren't cheap and keeping them functioning smoothly requires high priced talent.

I don't want to be an owner, just the person who casts the new models.
