However, the real world runs mostly on proprietary software.

To be precise the real world runs mostly on Microsoft's proprietary software. How is Java useful in a monoculture. Conversely, if Sun ever does start shipping more boxes than Microsoft, then it will probably be because open source has overtaken the real world. In either case the VM is only of modest relevance.

At least that is how I interpreted the original comment.
