Could it be that a "great" product and a "commercially successful" product are not the same thing? I work at a large employer who spends a lot on tools. I would characterize many of those tools as not being "great" for our needs. Replacing those tools is difficult because of the costs and logistics of licensing accross a large enterprise. In my experience, businesses (and consumers) would rather buy a "good enough" solution for a complex problem than multiple "great" solutions which solve the same problem when engineered to work in conjunction with one another. Why do you think MS Office is so popular?
