There's some aspects that make it a more nuanced situation:

- you won't see angry letters in the news about services sticking to open source after they chose to move in

- the reason the CNLL can point the finger at Poytechnique is because there are explicit directives. Not even having those would be way worse.

- "Most of the public money" : Open Source contracts won't be in billions of euros most of the time, especially as a lot of the money will go to internal hiring and only a slice to external contractors.
