it's also not entirely true, I know of some hedge funds that have made significant contributions to open source codebases (including Python)

agree, its not entirely true but if you look at the size of the financial industry (like > 10% of global GDP) its contribution is tiny.
actually besides the tech industry itself I can only think of the bio/medical industry being an important contributor (E.g the entire R ecosystem)
