Partially true in most social systems. However, the top of the pyramid has some substantial motivation to see a better kernel come into existence. I personally feel motivated to ensure that ReiserFS patches don't get lost, because those 5-10% improvements really do add up over time. We may also hope that they feel some pride of craftsmanship in constructing their social system --- I suspect that pride in what they do is more likely to move them.
