I understand they made some code contributions (no sources to hand right now) and also made / sponsored the WPGraphQL and Advanced Custom Fields plugins. The first, Automattic poached the developer; the second, Automattic rebranded it and removed any mention of WPE.

Not saying that WPE is beyond reproach; just not sure it's 100% accurate to say they didn't contribute anything back at all
