      I thought Blender was the standard. I always thought of it as the only instance when the FOSS tool was the standard.

        Never has been. It’s slowly making inroads for things like previs on movies. But it’s not a standard in vfx workflow etc. Despite being pretty usable. Standard issues apply. They already have a workflow and are loathe to change it if it works for them. Often open source is perceived not to have much support behind it like a commercial product would. (Why companies like Red hat exist) And most people aren’t trained in it. Though that’s a catch 22 that will likely work itself out over time.
