I disagree with most of your conclusions. open source software is no better or worse than closed software.
... you cannot be 'totally for open source' and at the same time not agree with my conclusions. (mutually exclusive)

Answer: preference, simple. (has nothing to do with quality)

I wish that were true. Microsoft is a perfect example of why not.

Yes. A good example of this is the work being done on the mainline kernel here... or the video work being done with drm; these would not be possible if it were not for free and open code base.
