No, I don’t write one line of code that I don’t get paid for - ie random open source contributions.

You can be paid for open source contributions, sometimes.
I did. I contributed to a popular official open source “AWS Solution” while working there. But this is about people who are looking for jobs.
So that open source contribution can be part of your CV when looking for a job, right?

I guess what I'm trying to say is that employees should try to get open source contributions as part of their job. Either by open sourcing a component or by contributing to projects on which the company depends.
