Are the organizations building on VMWare going to learn any lessons from this?

There exist and have existed for decades robust full featured open source solutions.
Use them.

I can't speak for all orgs, but I'm guessing it was something along the lines of "There's plenty of competition out there, we're paying them good money and they're profitable - why would they screw up a good thing?" Almost every organisations will choose current cost over potential future issues to a greater or lesser degree. Backups most will spend a reasonable amount on ensuring they have them working. A cold-standby DR site, fewer. I doubt many are defensively engineering their organisational IT strategy to run two competing platforms at every level just incase one gets bought out by the mob who turns up the pricing by several multiples.
