Are projects at FAANGMULA actually interesting or are people just TC chasing?

I’m not talking about exceptions where you get to work on exciting new R&D projects. I’m talking about the majority of the FAANGMULA software engineers who just add features and fix bugs to existing code.
For reference: FAANGMULA = Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Uber, Lyft, AirBnB

However working in FANGMULA, I mostly experienced projects which are used by millions and billions ppl in the world, and getting in to core development teams is really tough moreover the solution is developed by hundreds and thousands of engineers so focus is more on quality which will actually be exploit proof, best in class performance etc. , rather then quickness to prove a small idea.
So I have accepted this fact , work for small or medium size companies for first decade of your career then move to FANGMULA, learn skills related to leadership etc there
