A lot of these (but not all) strike me a flashy things for which you get promoted. Many people don't need any of these. What FAANG does not do is support critical yet underappreciated Unix infrastructure. By this I mean directly donating to developers without trying to take over the projects. The quality of FAANG code, especially in the fault-tolerant machine learning space, is questionable as well. I'm not sure why so many commenters (in other comments!) attribute near magical qualities to any output of FAANG.
