The point isn't how much Google spends on stuff in general, it's their wallet. What's important is how much they contribute back to the development of the tools they actively use to fill that wallet.

They contribute a lot of open source software themselves, you can probably find a better example of a company benefitting from such but not contributing much

It would be enough if software donated to software development actually went to developers. Not to foundation CEOs and bs actovism!
