I don’t think I can pay Linus to implement a specific feature for me. But maybe I just misunderstood and you were talking about consulting only?

The vast majority of Linux kernel development is corporations paying devs to implement the features they need. Some of that is in-house developers, some of that is hiring contractors like Igalia or Collabora or many others. That's what I'm talking about.
