Apple contribute a lot to open source, and I think your last statement of them being a negative force is kind of ridiculous given some of the work that heavily depended on their engineering. Firstly, they have a site that lists some of their work https://opensource.apple.com/ https://opensource.apple.com/ but going further, projects like Chrome wouldn’t exist without Safari having forked KHTML and then massively worked on WebKit. Clang + LLVM would likely not exist in their current form either (clang started at Apple, llvm was earlier but a lot of early push came from them). Which in turn would have changed the landscape today regarding other languages like Rust. Those are just two of the major ones. There are other major ones like OpenCL that come to mind too, let alone other projects that get code contributions (OBS, Blender, etc…) They probably don’t contribute as much as they could , in an ideal world, but the foundation of your comment is untrue.
