Meaningful vs. meaningless support from businesses

The difference in this "wealth creation", is that proprietary software does this by overcharging for their monopolies (i.e. what happened in the last two decades), while open source does it by charging for service and support. There is a lot less chance the second model will run away into profiteering, because competiotors have a much easier way of getting in.

Unfortunately for your theories, Red Hat are, as I said before, very good at what they do. So, they take the lion's share (for now).

I have no idea when was the last time you installed anything Red Hat made, but if you did, you would know that there is plenty of innovation there. So, although you are trying to present a situation in which they supposedly don't have the "core" of their product (whatever that's supposed to mean), I can assure you that their "core" is just fine and being rewritten daily. How do you think one gets from Linux From Scratch to Fedora, if not by innovating.

In the end, the main test is which model produces the same goods cheaper. You seem to think that we have to keep spending $50G instead of $5G, because someone may lose their job.
