Why should they? It would be nice if they did but they'd be directly enabling their competition. That's not what open source is all about as far as I understand it.

Indeed. The "Open Source" aspects of those companies are more to do with trying to diminish the value of their competitors.

It's a case of "Everything I do is valuable, but everything you do should be free."
