I don't think that is necessary, as some companies do actually help, either with money or even dedicated staff, which can be as good or better.

We should push for developers to promote the idea of more help towards FOSS projects, maybe find some hours a month, or send any money saved from not paying for licenses.

on the other hand we get situations where we have a single dev maintaining some essential part of tge stack, for free.

i think pushing for more help is just a piece of this puzzle.

Lose the critical part of your business, see how fast you can move around it.
