Not only that, the entirety of the FOSS ecosystem rests on the charity of billion-dollar companies.
It's like any form of communism: it can only work when there's capitalism for it to parasite off of.

how is FOSS "communism"?
Evan Ross
Companies donate to various Linux organizations and pay programmers to develop Linux. In return, they receive features and maintenance for the kernel that is making them so much money in the server space. That's not communism, that's capitalism through and through. Companies pay for a service, and they get it, fair and square. The only side effect of this is that because of the GPL license and the mentality it promotes, everyone benefits from this service, not just the company that paid for it. Linux is free as in freedom, and you'll always be able to access the code for free, but if you want more support and featuresz you either program it yourself or you pay someone else to do it.
This is also why Linux is a top dog in the server space, but struggles on the desktop, because Google and Amazon and the like don't care for desktop Linux because those parts of Linux are far less important to them than the kernel and server stuff.

Of all the projects you mentioned only one those is actually hosted on Github only. The others are simply mirrors or simply to be more accessible to more people. You had plenty of big projects only on Github to choose from but you fucked up hard on your choices.

Even there, they lose horribly to Windows.

nobody is forced to use github, if microsoft jumps the shark somehow, people would move away.
like it happened before with sourceforge, etc.
