The one exception I've seen though is Microsoft stack applications. For whatever reason open source libraries aren't as widespread there. Sure, there are some and with things like NuGet it's getting easier to use them, but a lot of developers don't seem to bother going outside of what Microsoft offers out of the box.
There's some high profile exceptions like the infrastructure parts you mentioned, but noone expects you to open source your router and unix config, there's nothing worth contributing and collaborating on here.
