A more optimistic take would be that open source is one way that big companies indirectly and somewhat inadvertently support small ones. This means the code might be tackling problems that small companies don't have, though. It might be more complicated than you need. Maybe it's bleak if you care about control issues (governance) or you want to make money off open source? But as a source of free, possibly useful stuff, it's pretty good.
