Well, I don't want to pull the kernel-hacker card, but it sounds like you might not have experienced being yelled at by Linus during a kernel summit. It's not fun and not worth the money. Also it's well-known that LF can't compete with e.g. Collabora or Red Hat on salary, so the only folks who stick around and focus on Linux infrastructure for the sake of Linux are bureaucrats, in the sense of Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy.

I'm kinda under the impression that he doesn't really do that anymore

Watch the video. Wedson is being yelled at by Ted Ts'o. If the general doesn't yell, but his lieutenants yell, is that really progress? I will say that last time I saw Linus, he was very quiet and courteous, but that likely was because it was early morning and the summit-goers were starting to eat breakfast and drink their coffee.
