I don't think that's FUD at all. One of the great things about open source is that there's room for people to use the free version and also a market for people who want to pay for something that's hosted or supported. Those are just normal aspects of software use in businesses of different sizes, and pretty much the reason Red Hat exists as a company.

Totally agree, I'm currently consulting for a company which helps enterprises run an Apache project as a managed solution. Funny thing is that I'm helping them run Kubernetes better.

There is definite value in hiring expertise and that's why open source has created many companies.
