Linux Kernel. libc. Compilers. Programming Languages. Big libraries like filesystems, while generally not open source, system ROMs. Tons of network and system RFCs, standards like POSIX.
These are these long, wide, thin slabs you don't see. Others are too high level. These slabs are very close to metal. You're not kneeling enough. :)
Compilers and programming languages tend to be under supported (or overcomitted?) for what it's worth. They're definitely not solo projects, but certain features and components can be basically that way.
I take some of the recent concern from the Rust community about burnout and such to be early stage discovery of the economic problems in maintaining nontrivial infrastructure as a common good.
