False, many open source projects have companies behind them that provide enterprise hosting amd support. MongoDB, Android, Chromium, Hashicorp, GraphQL, Kubernetes and many many more.
I think that the above companies/projects speak for themselves on this point.
A lot of the time, if companies are to rely on upstream code, they contribute to the upstream. None of the companies that I have ever worked for do major upgrades before stable candidates are out. My company presently doesn't move to a new release until SemVer x.2 (at a minimum, unless there is a critical vulerability that has been patched).
Take a survey of all open source projects. Then find the proportion that have a company behind them trying to sell an enterprise solution. To make this easier, only look on something like the npm repository.
You'll find "generally" is accurate.
