So I know your comment is a bit tongue in cheek, but there are real concerns about the last two points that people may not realize. At many large orginizations the outside vendor may be the _only_ real technical capabilities that team has so there is no solution other then "outsourcing" to the vendor's support team. Budgets have similar incentives that make teams want to keep a large budget around even if they could get the job done with less resources. That slush money comes in handy to have the vendor do all sorts of work that isn't really about getting their system running ( i.e. doing all the integration with other parts of your stack ) I think lots of open source products or smaller teams think winning those "Enterprise" deals is about having the better product and checking some boxes on a requirements sheet. When you get into enterprise its all about the relationships
