I can say, at least in government, that open source is almost entirely used as a cost-saving measure, but it's implemented so poorly (by the time a piece of software makes it through the proper channels for verification, it's already several major releases behind. Which explains why CentOS is still so prevalent) that the general opinion becomes "open-source is just a cheap substitute for a superior commercial product."
