the reason why many companies try to avoid using open source software is support. they usually can't throw money at the creator to fix their problems or create custom solutions for them. which is kind of not accurate anymore today.

To be honest I'm a FOSS advocate, but when I recommend software I absolutely mention that getting devs (capable of fixing that software) in a SLA for critical bugs is what the absolutely should do, or accept the security risk or operational risk of insecure software.
