I would argue that Google and Facebook care very much that you use their OS projects. By open sourcing, they have created a global talent pool of developers who all know their framework of choice and are thus pre-trained before ever being employed. Open-sourcing also means you get global talent, working for 'free' for you. None of these companies ever do anything to be nice, they do whatever they can — and I mean anythning they can get away with — to pay out their shareholders. That is a company's main drive. To pretend otherwise is to seriously overlook what is really going on.
