When multiple different people and multiple different circumstances align in just the right way, I do believe it's magical. Literal magic. My experiences as a person tell me that people and egos and circumstances constantly conspire against goals, ambition, and vision. There's always something that stymies a project. Maybe it's someone's ego. Maybe it's a problem that drains someone out completely. Maybe it's just a bad day for someone. When networks of people are able to join together and fight entropy enough to sustain the life of a project... Wow. Just wow. Anyone who added any type of energy into Linux that sustained it for everyone has my admiration.
