I seen this argument alot, and this was the only thing said which could be why at the moment Blender was/is not heavily used in Studios:

large corporations whose bottom line depends on getting stuff done quickly,they want to be able to pick up the phone and call someone if their software isn't behaving as they would expect, or if they run into problems. With open source software, there is nobody to call, and nobody invested in making sure you succeed, so using opensource software is seen as more of a risk

Microsoft said the same thing about Linux... until RedHat showed up, and provided exactly that. For a subscription fee (which is only a fraction of what MSFT charges, even at EA bulk rates), you have been able to get professional 24/7/366 short SLA support for their RHEL server product, no sweat, and you have been able to do that since 2001 or so. Oh, and they provided excellent patching, even backporting patches to old versions as needed.

I can't see why some enterprising soul couldn't do the same for Blender if that support becomes a large enough demand.

Sure they can...but the reality is they dont, So they (Studios)would have to hire devs just for that which personally I think they should do (You know...that part you choose to leave out when quoting me )
