Vendor lock-in is an underrated problem, IMHO. In particular for small companies. However, large companies (and some publishing houses might get into that region but probably only few) are less affected: they pay quite some amount for the licenses anyway and they are a major customer. So they can ask for features, prolonged support as they can communicate on equal terms (Augenhöhe). So yes, there is a strong dependency but in both directions. (At least that is the case for Windows/Skype/Office software in some larger companies. And I guess both the company size and the market is smaller in music publishing but the issue is comparable.)
