How do you think Meta profits off React and PyTorch? Just marketing to get good candidates?

No. I think they use that web & ML software to help run their $1.3 trillion marketcap online social network company, on which, I am given to understand from US Congressional hearings, they sell ads.
The same way that the US benefits from being the reserve currency of the world. Control of the ecosystem allows meta to define the rules of the game.
