Aren't a lot of open source libraries and languages initially open sourced from faang? I'm using Airflow at work, which is a descendant of something Facebook open sourced. Pretty sure all of them open sourced a bunch of of their data center designs too

Initially open-sourced? No.

FAANG jumped on the open source bandwagon once they realised they could not complete with the Linux dev ecosystem, and so hastily implemented drivers and other open source tech built on existing FOSS libraries and concepts.

They've contributed a lot, but they built upon existing frameworks pioneered by linux/FSF

Airflow actually started as internal project at Airbnb.

Ah woops, that's right, mixed that up. PyTorch is the one we use from Facebook.
