In my experience, 95% of the situations I follow could transition to totally open-source solutions without major problems. Some others could do so by implementing a progressive plan.

The limitation is almost always human: people accustomed to working in a certain way for years, and a lack of willingness and commitment to change, even minimal change. If in private sectors, this happens under the "threat" of a drop in productivity. If in public sectors, under the threat of severe inefficiencies.

I saw a local election won (in part) thanks to a promise not to change anything.

Inertia, at times, causes incalculable damage.
