Before striving for market share and leadership, there's product-market fit. The ambitions of FOSS projects needn't be (and often aren't) to become a leader. Offering a good alternative to some proprietary product is already a good start. FOSS projects are predominantly started and maintained by developers and this is reflected in both the tool choices and the organization / governance model of the project, which makes it hard for other stakeholders to have a proper say in it. Those are areas to focus on and where much can be improved. And with the help of said stakeholders to encourage that trend.
