I see no such fragmentation or duplication of effort that commercial entities would cause that's any different than what happens currently with mostly volunteer projects. People have (and will continue) the ability and desire to do *anything* they want, including doing the same project that someone else is doing. Commercial and/or volunteer, that's not going to change. Your straw-man argument has no merit.
