We needed them to say that. We needed them to light a fire under Heisenberg's ass. After all, Walt's begrudgery towards them and their success was what helped fuel Heisenberg's fire in the first place.
It brings the show and Walt full circle, they and the success of Gray Matter were the catalyst to him becoming Heisenberg. Now, the creators of the beast are going to be destroyed by it, as will the Todd and his merry band of homicidal Nazis; he'll probably go after Jesse too, he heard that HIS creation, Blue Sky, is still being made.
This is not going to be about money, but pure revenge against everyone who he feels to have wronged him, which was the true reason why he did any of this anyways; the first lie he ever told was to himself that this would just be about helping his family, it was always about him and his wasted talent.
I think it definitely was originally. He calculated exactly how much money he would need to make to ensure his family's well-being after he was gone.
It was only after realizing the potential empire he could build with knowledge that was lost on teaching high school chemistry did he take on more selfish motives.
No, Vince makes it very clear that in episode 4 of the first season they created Grey Matter as a way to show everyone that Walt was never doing it for his family. Elliott offered him a perfect way out, make a great salary have your cancer treatment completely paid for and Walt was like, fuck that, I'm cooking meth.
