No, I'm arguing that *if* the concerns you articulate represent a significant number of "corporate* customers (i.e., a "market"), their interests would be better represented by *some* organization who is paid to reflect them. RHEL and Ubuntu LTS could potentially be contributors to that pool. I'm mostly arguing the FLOSS project should feel free to ignore high-maintenance-cost commercial concerns until those concerns bring either blook (funded developer time) or treasure (pooled to pay for the same time) to the table to pay for them.
