We are witnessing this since weeks at Odoo. (https://odoo.com)

Last month, we lost a big project against SAP (budget 5m€): the company choosed SAP because their holding was willing to pay for the project. Last week, the same prospect came back to Odoo: as the holding could not afford such a project anymore, the company has to pay from its own budget. So, they choose Odoo (<1m€ budget)

I believe the next wave is a replacement of proprietary expensive business applications: ERP, SAS, BI...

Am I right that this has nothing with FOSS per se but just about "X is cheaper than Y" kind of reasoning?

Yes. Odoo is open core, and many components are closed, and those are far from being free.

Is there any good resource on what addons are not open-source?

Quite a few actually. If you're a software shop or digital agency, I think the Odoo Studio and marketing automation features are the big gaps.

For the latter, there's Mautic.

However, good CRUD builders are difficult to find. Seatable is promising, haven't evaluated it yet.
