Id argue the majority of software in production is opensource and majority of it being maintained or contributed to by commercial firms.
The last mile of software, the stuff the user interacts with is not though but almost every othet piece of the pie is.
From modems, to OSs, to routers, to webservers, to libs, and packages almost all that is dominated by FOSS and then someone productizes that into a commercial app that they sell as propritary
Windows, MacOS, Android, and IOS all havr little sections where they tell you all of the FOSS in that product alone. SaaS companies like Netflix, Google, Facebook, Amazon all have huge FOSS projects includes Linux kernel updates, Kubernetes, Llama AI, Pytorch, Tensorflow, etc. Ngnix and appache also acount for the majority of webservers publically available last I looked.
Every major programing language is opensource, and majority of packages used are as well. There is very little reason to do so otherwise at least on common and generic problems. I have nevet seen, in my life, training or learning to code that invloves buying libraries, you just pip,crate,apt,dnf,untar,etc the FOSS libs and packages.
The value of opensource in the econony was geniunly estimated in the trillions

give me an example, then.
