We gave in because open source and hobbiests do not design good products and even worse shared systems, as much as they enjoy self-righteously declaring their values. And shared systems require trust, planning, and goal setting in a way no open system would ever build.

1) They of course lack the resources

2) Often lack professional displince across all skills required

3) Mostly make for themslves or whats interesting, not whats needed.

4) The release schedule is laughable at best.

This seems more correlated with big vs. small organizations, not closed vs. open organizations. There are open projects (e.g., Debian, Blender) that tick all four of your boxes in my opinion.
