Based on consulting calls I've had with companies, a very common pattern is:

- They want to be "open source" because they or their VC think it's important for the marketing benefits and it seems to be of interest to customers

- But, they're not really planning to invest to make the open source development model work

- And, they sure don't want to disadvantage themselves from a business perspective (have trouble holding features back/give potential competitors a leg up)
