people got bills to pay & mouths to feed.

that's like saying to people heading to gold mines - leave cz we know you're here to make money. you never cared about gold.

I think it's more pointed at big corporations and C-Suite people rather than people doing honest work to earn money.

It's pointed at execs, but squarely also at everyday workers who don't actually care about technology uplifting all of mankind, mostly just themselves. The former group has no ongoing open source work to show at the corporate level, and the latter group has no ongoing open source work to show at the individual level. Both groups actively take take take from open source without giving back anything.
