I believe the main reason most people don't contribute in a given organization is because the organization creates little incentive to do so, so mostly people are running off of their own motivation. What I mean is, people contributing to most of the value are not such because they were born talented programmers or ground their nose like crazy, they mostly just actually care and invest into the subject.
