    I think, because Corp. In Corp, they want someone to be in charge, and take reponsible when something mess up. It is easy for IT to proposed to buy a solution, because the vendor take responsible for mess up, rather than use open-source and have to fix bug themselves.

    There are also case where developer push malware into open-source.

      This is another example, corp pay to use open source (https://tidelift.com/). They are paying to have someone to cover them if something mess up, like a reliable mantainer.

      So i think that why corp still pay for pdf solution, e-signing and stuff like that rather than implement from open source solution.
