SQLite, NodeJS, the linux kernel, the rust compiler, postgres and others would like a word.

NodeJS tried to move to an industry governance board model around the release of 0.12, where commercial interests took part in running the project. It nearly killed nodejs entirely.

People definitely get paid for work on more than half of those projects.

So? None of them are commercial or proprietary projects - which was the contention. There’s nothing inherent about opensource that precludes having people paid to work on it. It’s just harder.
