I am a bit confused though here - should the kernel be written by unemployed people? Most contributors won’t have full-time funding.

That's an assumption in the exact opposite direction. GP is assuming that if someone commits while employed by a company then that company paid completely for that commit, while you're assuming that in that case the company "probably" didn't pay for the whole commit.
Either way, the article's conclusion seems to be insufficiently supported.
