Other than those two, I haven't seen other examples of companies doing this.

Blockstream also has hired quite a few developers that contribute to
Bitcoin Core and don´t work on their sidechain products.
Allegedly they also receive time-locked Bitcoins to ensure that it is in
their interest to maintain Bitcoin (a pretty good idea if you ask me, more
companies should do this).

more and more complicated and hard to understand/contribute amd maintain.

Isn´t this true for any larger software engineering project?
