In software world, I can point someone to PostgreSQL (I’ll keep using that example, though my point is there are lots of examples!) to see a fully-realized product including all the tedious stuff. And it’s nothing to do with hobbyists, this exact codebase is the same one that keeps billion-dollar businesses running.

What are the equivalent projects of equal professionalism and completeness in open hardware world? Maybe Open Compute Project?

Or does the jump to “hobbyists” indicate there is very little like that, in other words virtually all serious hardware is not open?
