You are saying like somebody watching World from the sky! Look at the 
statistics Linux Kernel v6.1:

<https://lwn.net/Articles/915435/>

In tab. "Most active 6.1 employers" i col. "By lines changed", there is 
corpo "(None)" - these are probably programmers not associated with any 
corpo. They contribute only 2.8% LOC, rest is contribute by large corpos 
aroud the World. Individual programmers start free and open software 
movement, but now it is pure controlled by huge corpos.
