We Agree
We mainly agree, but I disagree with you on a semantic level.

You said:
The real problem is that techies don't possess the business knowledge to make the systems workable. Open Source projects lack the business needs identification and focus for exactly the same reason that they tout as their big advantage - flexibility from central planning.

Most business requirements aren't beyond the abilities of techies. IMO it simply isn't in their interest. To their credit I think it is completely within the realm of OSS to create these enterprise level applications. However they lack the leadership for these endeavors.
