    I don’t understand much about the finances of the FOSS world, but do companies like FUTO help at all? I don’t even know how FUTO makes money, to be honest.

      They’re not a company, FUTO is one rich guy.

        FUTO is both a company (LLC, to be specific) and a rich guy.

        And not to forget: FUTO is evil.
