They're not planning to, not really. FAANG + MS are so big that at this point they stopped caring about Open Source and Free Software. The licenses are intentionally permissive that every tool can be used internally if they need it (Linux, bash, etc) plus even more permissive licenses like MIT can be used in commercial products. With web services even GPL can be used in their commercial cloud services.
They control a huge chunk of Open Source anyway through their contributors.
Plus the level they compete at is so far from Open Source that Open Source basically doesn't matter. It's all services and clouds now.
Open Source had its moment circa 2005, now it's just asphalt. Yeah, we use it everyday, but nobody writes home about it.
And regular users don't care.
