Reply to comment by Aussie_Mo_Bro in ELI5: Why do Developers publish their code on Github to the public when “giving it away” could hurt their ability to monetize their creations? by AndreLinoge55
This is a good answer, and I'd also add that many individuals/companies thrive only because they exist in an ecosystem where everyone contributes to the advancement of software. Amazon makes a lot of money selling cloud computing resources, for example, so it benefits them to make contributions to advance and grow software development in general which then drives more demand for cloud compute.
