Those days are slowly dying. For too long companies have leeched off FOSS, yet some have sponsored them out of good faith and respect for how valuable these FOSS offerings are. Many developers are building in business logic instead of liberally dumping their hard work on GitHub / Gitlab for everyone to leech off. This doesn't mean Open Source as an ideology is dead, just that developers are getting more business savvy.
