Most open source software is written by programmers who are full-time employed by companies which directly consume the software, at the explicit or implicit blessing of their employers. It is not charity work, any more than they charitably file taxes.
The amount of money flowing through capitalism would astound you. The number and variety of firms participating in the economy would astound you. We don't see most of it every day for the same reason abstractions protect us from having to care about metallurgy while programming.
CS programs have, in the main, not decided that the primary path to becoming a programmer should involve doing material actual programming. There are some exceptions: Waterloo, for example. This is the point where I joke "That's an exhaustive list" but not sure that a joke.
Technical literacy in the broader population can be approximated with the Thanksgiving test: what sort of questions do you get at Thanksgiving? That's the ambient level of literacy. Serious people in positions of power eat Thanksgiving dinners, too. Guess what they ask at them.

Hard to do now but get a yellow pages from a large metro area, look at the almost limitless variety of businesses, the old Sears 1200 page general catalog was similar for the range of human activity
Or go for a walk through your local industrial area and notice just how many businesses you walk past, and all the unknown companies with their nameplates in office blocks. Each one of which has to have turnover of at the very least several $100k/yr to be profitable.
How does one begin to learn and understand the dynamics of an economy? Wealth Of Nations doesn't help 1 bit
Metallurgy is preinfo society & there's no incentive for that industry to compete in a marketplace of ideas like software must. Would that we BE ABLE to care deeply about metallurgy but it's an old world style specialty.
