This is a misperception.  LSF/MM is organised by a group of volunteers
as a Linux Kernel mini summit to discuss current topics around those
subsystems.

  We use the LF to do the logistics, but it's in no way controlled by
them or aligned with their member companies.  The first LSF/MM was
aided logistically by google, the next by Intel, then USENIX for a
while and now the LF.

I certainly wouldn't be in favour of turning LSF/MM into a corporate
discussion forum ... that's what standards bodies are for.
