why does open source companies like canonical and opensuse don't host their own fediverse instances? (lemmy.ca)

Why would they host something like Lemmy or Mastodon? I'm sure their development communities and employees use something like email, IRC, Matrix or Slack to communicate internally. Creating a federated instance of something doesn't make sense for them unless it would help work towards their organisational goals.
