Many job postings list OSS contributions as a requirement / desirable for employment. So, I'm not sure if your statement holds up.

I personally know developers that contribute to OSS because of this. And many that have burnt out because of the constant need to contribute.

Most OSS contributors do it for fun - but there is a section that do it because it's becoming part of the interview / job hunting process.
