Sounds low. None of the companies I've worked for would have existed without open source.

That's like saying companies you worked for couldn't exist without indoor plumbing (which is what OSS effectively is). Yet the earliest company was founded in the year 578 AD, and other massive organizations (like empires) existed much earlier than that. OSS is plumbing, cheaper plumbing makes for more tiny fruit-fly companies, yes, but there are always alternatives.
