Not necessarily. FOSS products don't have a selling team to persuade
and bribe people. Expensive solutions, and that is in part what make
them expensive, can spend lots of time persuading and can offer good
money to those who decide which is the "best" product. Those who
decide are not the coders or db admins and in general don't really
care much.
