I think it's more that "companies" tend to need assurances (i.e. someone
to call and blame when [insert solution here] doesn't do something in an
expected manner).  So, "Open Source" falls on its face here, with
projects tending to not particularly have that kind of support
infrastructure.

Like, if something goes wrong in [proprietary PGP], you can call
[vendor] and get support (or their devteam to look at it, etc.) --
they're the ones on the hook, not you (well, you are, but you can
deflect a bit to "we're working with the vendor).  On the other hand,
GPG ... well ... maybe the mailing list can help?
