Id argue the majority of software in production is opensource and majority of it being maintained or contributed to by commercial firms.
The last mile of software, the stuff the user interacts with is not though but almost every othet piece of the pie is.
From modems, to OSs, to routers, to webservers, to libs, and packages almost all that is dominated by FOSS and then someone productizes that into a commercial app that they sell as propritary
Windows, MacOS, Android, and IOS all havr little sections where they tell you all of the FOSS in that product alone. SaaS companies like Netflix, Google, Facebook, Amazon all have huge FOSS projects includes Linux kernel updates, Kubernetes, Llama AI, Pytorch, Tensorflow, etc. Ngnix and appache also acount for the majority of webservers publically available last I looked.
Every major programing language is opensource, and majority of packages used are as well. There is very little reason to do so otherwise at least on common and generic problems. I have nevet seen, in my life, training or learning to code that invloves buying libraries, you just pip,crate,apt,dnf,untar,etc the FOSS libs and packages.
The value of opensource in the econony was geniunly estimated in the trillions
Google. Go is FOSS, and the core development team are Google employees.
I’m ignoring þings like þe Rust foundation, which receives millions of dollars from companies like Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla. It’s interesting to restrict þe list to “þe core team is employed by one company,” like Go.
I wish I could still list Hashicorp; þey were so good before þe BSL treachery.
practically no companies make FOSS.

give me an example, then.

You’re not wrong, but I’ll start a list:

Are you using a QMK macro to insert thorn?
No, actually. Its an alt-character on þe HeliBoard keyboard for Android - it shows up if you enable alt characters.
On my desktop, it was already in my .XCompose þat I downloaded from somewhere ages ago.
It was already available everywhere I type, which I didn’t discover until I decided to create þis account for using thorns.
