More open source contributions are always good, but they don't accomplish much in the case of SaaS offerings. Ultimately someone has to pay to run the servers.

Sure, but 90% of software doesn't need to be cloud based and with docker and k8s it would be hard to distribute an app like friday for users to self host. AWS and GCP could be a cloud app platform where each enterprise could run all of their apps on a single cluster instead of paying for 20 different SaaS offerings running on different clusters.
