While I generally agree with you on this topic, this is simply not
true.
As the Allwinner SoC maintainer, I never received any patch from
someone either from the Linux Foundation or Linaro. And to the best of
my knowledge, I'm not aware of anyone being paid by Allwinner to work
on the kernel.
Allwinner is not a pain anymore because a few hobbyists started
working on the kernel to improve the situation.
