Doesn't that depend on what you're developing? I've long thought that I would love to be able to volunteer using my skillset instead of just doing something that is unspecialized like working in a soup kitchen or something. I could write an app that tracks and reserves open beds in a homeless shelter so people who need a place to sleep don't waste their time commuting to somewhere with no vacancy. That could make smaller (vetted) locations more viable and essentially make AirBnB for the unhoused. Why isn't there a place to go to propose and contribute to projects like this that are focused on making someone's life better instead of making shareholders more profit? It seems like you could convince a non-capitalist government to fund such a thing and employ people to assist in maintaining the project, facilitating compliance with existing or new regulation, and coordinating communication with agencies/organizations that would essentially be the clients of the development team (to create feature requests and illuminate challenges).
