   Because competition drives innovation.

 For companies competition means they could lose market share and profit, 
unless they keep "improving" their product. So it's entirely seen as a threat 
to their bottom line.


In FOSS competition means someone has produced a better 
application/distro than yours, making you want to improve yours. In *most* 
cases there are no monetary considerations only the respect and admiration 
of your peers.  

Both sides compete, but in different ways.
