I don't think these examples have anything to do with being open source. They're problems of funding and organization. Of course a lot of open source software doesn't compete well with corporate projects, because it's made by individuals as a hobby. That said, I can list OSS which is highly competitive with its closed equivalents, like Blender and Krita, or has completely displaced corporate software, like VLC, FFmpeg, and git. The issues you mention are real and widespread, but I find open source solutions are still the best tool for the job a significant amount of the time. This is also ignoring the field of corporate open source, which has made great, if caveat-laden, strides in the past few years.
