Not a core developer, but part of my job at my company is to follow CPython development very closely. I don't see the pattern that the core contributors who work for large companies do important work. A lot of it is churn and minor patches. Most important work appears to have been done by people who contribute a large chunk of code and then often leave. Or by people who don't work for large companies but did a lot of useful bug fixes.
