The lesson I took away wasn’t that open source always wins. It was that once an open platform that people can customize becomes the industry’s center of gravity, no single vendor can match the combined rate of innovation around it.

Isn't that the main reason why "open source always wins"? What do old industry folk think made open source software so prevalent in the modern software landscape if not explicitly this reason? We can debate security, archival, extended support, but at the end of the day isn't this the explicitly the main reason? Centralized development efforts for a greater good?

Right, the whole advantage is that you amortize the work across a huge community which no single company has the resources to compete with.
