Indeed. I’ve worked with several “enterprises” and often the OSS option was discarded for lack of support for certain enterprise use-case or integration with other commercial products; or for lack of professional support for production issues and SLAs.

Obviously this stuff costs effort and time, you can’t expect that to be available for free.
