What people don't realize, is that Miguel de Icaza actually started gnome and mono.
Xamarin got acquired by Microsoft.
I'm so tired of watching the community crap on every company which donates open source (I've been watching for 25 years at least now). Even Redhat which basically is a major factor to the survival of Linux is getting crapped on. Systemd developers, etc.
If people are genuinely interested in Linux growing, they need a positive community. Because developers like myself mostly stopped providing free code (as a hobbyist developer) because whilst finding help is difficult, it's not hard to find people willing to abuse you and your projects unfortunately
Even the VLC developers can't escape the abuse
