I feel what you write is all correct. I would never worry about this influence of money, though. The thing is, if you take off the fluffy pink glasses, which hurts and takes a long time going step by step, you'll see that open source is about money since pretty much forever. Yes there are a lot of people doing some effort for free. But they are not the major influence. Major influence means Linux, Mozilla, Canonical, hack even things like GitHub etc. It simply wouldn't work in this dimension without money. Thus even though all your points are correct and already happening out there, there is still a booming open source world and there are still people having fun.
