The market has been horrid in determining that. There are a few dozen massive companies funding a significant amount of the menial and boring work done on FOSS.

The market has been horrid in determining that. There are a few dozen massive companies funding a significant amount of the menial and boring work done on FOSS. Possibly because they have more to lose from their competitors building moats and wide-scale incidents. Thankfully governments are now also funding FOSS work but this really doesn't align with what you're envisioning, I think.
