How many startups are looking at the source code for Linux, ever?

Many or most. They benefit for being able recompile the kernel or compile in support for a device or service. Or to be able to make use of tools provided by others who've done just that.

Which is to say, pretty much every startup I've worked at over the past 15 years.

Rather boggled we're even still fielding this level of ignorance and/or FUD.
