A commodified market with no good product? Something is wrong here.

It's enterprise software. The people using the software and the people choosing the software are not the same people. In many cases they only buy it to satisfy a contractual or regulatory requirement and then the primary criterion is which one costs less or which one's sales reps give the best kickbacks, with considerations like "is it any good" not really playing a major role.
Race to the bottom.
