I don't see that as a logical conclusion of the first two points you make.
My belief is that most organisations will put some kind of support for
their Open Source systems in place, usually either in-house staff or a
support contract from a specialist company, and then move on. I don't
think many will support Open Source in any realistic way, nor do I believe
it will change culture (beyond "we use Windows" to "we use Linux").
