I was completely unaware of that, but it checks out:

No doubt FreeBSD benefit big corps, but big corps have problems benefiting FreeBSD.

No they don't, Netflix and NetApp and I think somebody else have contributed back significantly.

Also a system intended to run exactly one application in one moment with direct access to hardware is likely not very rich on possible contributions.
