An influx of pull requests is also equally difficult for open source projects.
Anything sufficiently at scale needs a set of maintainers that the commercial tech companies would then collaborate with to get the PRs going.
Otherwise if everyone's just panicking and rushing to submit PRs, they'll inundate the maintainer. There's also no guarantee that even the best engineers at these companies are intimately familiar with the project, and might introduce regressions or other vulnerabilities in the process.
Anyway I do agree companies should be working with OSS devs, but it shouldn't be rushed or knee jerk. It should be collaborative and measured.
