Firefox is not a great representative example. It's development is primarily driven by a single company so it receives all of the benefits non FOSS would get as a result. However, most FOSS cannot find a similarly effective monetization strategy to Firefox to enable a company to invest and produce a good product that way.
Windows is poorly suited to be used as infrastructure compared to open source so again, your example isn't great.
Unless you have ever been in a position where you need to make important decisions, it's best not to assume things about the decision makers knowledge. Hiring folks who trained appropriately on the software you choose can be a very strong motivator.
