All commits are also not equal, just like not all LOC is equal. Very often I see folks with a lot of commit on github, when I look at the diff, it's 2 lines, 1 line. I'm the kind of person that will probably write 20 lines before I commit. I think companies are more likely to have done something bigger, tested it, used it for a while then committed, but individual developer could just commit on a line or two for say bug fixes. This is not to make an excuse for commercial entities, I still think they can do much more in helping projects, but if too much money flows into open source, it just will end up corrupting the community.
