I'm not sure about all your points, but think of it this way: companies with revenues can overcome all kinds of technical and managerial gaffes (I'm looking at you, Microsoft).

OTOH, you can produce a popular, well-executed, low cost per user, etc. free service and still fail.

The inverse is true too: companies with popular, well-executed, low cost per user free services can overcome all kinds of technical and managerial gaffes (I'm looking at you, MySpace & LiveJournal & PlentyOfFish).

OTOH, you can produce a company with revenues and still fail. (Webvan, Kozmo, Value America, etc.)
