To be far, internet giants can't be compared with other industries.  For example, the "enterprise" market, such as automotive, financial, and manufacturing, have a completely different take on technology than these internet behemoths.  The internet pillars are technical institutions, and have technically savvy people by the dozens.

The classic enterprise, however, have a very different view, and thus rely on the sealed-and-delivered solutions like Java.  But with backing from the blue-chips like IBM, PHP can integrate deep within these environments, thus reducing the do-it-yourself nature of open source, and providing the total solution non-technical enterprises expect.
