Would society be better off if Linux kernel developers stuck to doing things that paid?

How many people work full time ubpaid on the Linux kernel? For the 4.15 kernel, AMD, Intel, Google and Red Hat contributed between 35 and 50% of the changes, depending on whether you count number of commits or number of lines changed.

How long did linux exist before there was a corporate sponsored person working on the kernel?

Only half rhetorical, as I'm actually curious.
