I don't know the details, but the teams at Google responsible for supporting their version of Linux and their C++ compiler sometimes mentioned making contributions to the common codebases. I got the impression they didn't make all of their fixes public, though.

Sure, but companies like Google, Facebook and others are the outliers anyway.

What matters are all those companies that no one heard of, or whose business has nothing to do with producing software.
