A question about star birth

So from what I have read and understand, stars form out of nebulas that shrink down to this one point which will become the star. At about 5 million kelvin, fusion begins and the fusion pressure outwards blows the remains of the nebula away. Now, how come some stars become so massive if the fusion process blows away the rest of the nebula? Wouldn't every star become about just as massive?
