> The Linux kernel's license is copyleft, which has done all of zip, zilch, nada, zero, to prevent large corporations from benefitting

You have it backwards. The goal of copyleft is not to "prevent others from benefiting". The goal is to potentially benefit from the adoption. If someone uses your copyleft library and fixes bugs in it, you can see their fixes and bring them back upstream. So you benefit from their work.
