It is the false perception by many companies, that if something is free (or even low cost) it is not enterprise grade.

Or that something that is "open" must not be "secure" ...

Or my personal favorite: Risk of system failure and downtime can be mitigated by paying large sums of money for recurring licensing and support contracts.

At the end of the day this is really just an issue of public awareness to alternatives, and moreover education.
