I agree with you, but I can tell you why that is so. Most companies don't trust things that come for volunteer organizations. The attitude of many people is "it's worth what you pay for it", which means that free software has no value to them. The attitude is quite prelevant in the western world where capitalism has a strong firmhold. This of course is quite false, especially in the software world, but that doesn't mean people don't believe it. It can be argued quite effectively that other beliefs of people are false, but it doesn't stop them from believing them. Alas, the only way for people to realize what open source software can do is to try it. But if the people are prejudgemental, they won't see the benefits even when staring right at them.
