> the vast majority of commercial software is not FOSS.
The overwhelming majority of commercial software made is custom. Much of it is already Free (as well as bloody expensive), and the rest could be without changing anything to the underlying business models.
At the same time, the majority of commercial software used is proprietary. Because while Microsoft Word is only one piece of software, it is multiplied by the number of its users.
As a user, of course you'll find that almost all the software you would pay for is proprietary. But that's just availability bias: you miss all the software that has only one customer, and there is a lot of it.
