It is the tragedy of the commons as you say. If I was Meta, for example, I would sue as heck adopt or contribute more heavily to the likes of php. But even Trillion dollar companies like Meta essentially freeload off the likes of Php where a contribution in the low millions or tens of millions works help bend development to their liking, curry favour with the open source community and be a genuinely good thing. But I guess companies are now meeting their doing good quota via some virtue signalling rather than contributing to genuinely socially useful infrastructure.

I mean, that's exactly what Linus did with git. A lot of his criticisms of existing stuff weren't justified (he went on misplaced rants about how version control software was bad in concept for years), and people have essentially cargo-culted git into areas it wasn't designed for because 'Linus is cool'

I think that is a bit revisionist. Linus hated CVS and happily used Bitkeeper as he found it useful. His contention then was that patchsets were superior to CVS. Having never used CVS, I cannot comment on how bad it was, but he put his money where his mouth was and invented Git (after a conflict between Bitkeeper and the open source community resulted in the free license for kernel developers being withdrawn.

In any case, the rapid fall off of CVS and Subversion proved his point.
