As a complete guess, I would say that 90% of Linux systems are run by "big tech drones". And also by small companies using technology.
Open source operating systems are not a zero sum game. Yes there is a certain gravitational pull from all the work contributed by the big companies. If you aren't contributing "for-hire", then you choose what you want to work on, and what you want to use.
Only if you count Android phones as being run by Google ... which is exactly the problem we want to avoid with our PCs.
