    The kernel is developed by Linux foundation and a variety of companies that have a vested interest in Linux like Intel, AMD, SUSE, RedHat, Google, Canonical. It's not a team of volunteers like it's popularly portrayed. The foundation itself is also primarily funded by such companies.

Additionally, a large percentage of contributors are unaffiliated, independent or part of small companies: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/paid-developers-power-the-linux-kernel/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/paid-develop...
