If the OSS competition being better (in both of our opinions) and more popular than previous giants means that the old option is then no longer "legitimate" or "valuable" then your argument is kind of a tautology.
Plenty of people get done what they want done and walk away satisfied with the paid alternatives such as IIS or in the case of Linux another server platform (SSI, mainframes, Windows, etc.). How are these things "illegitimate"?
I agree with your point overall, I was just pointing out exceptions.

Another one is Xen vs. VMware.
