It isn't a basic matter of packaging. You also need to do very exhaustive testing to make sure it works exactly as it should in all possible cases. Enterprise support is not easy to do.

Why is it surprising that Google can do it? Google has massive resources.

Sure, but other projects manage to do it just fine, without users having to yell to the heavens about it being a dealbreaker for nearly a decade.

Honest question: Can you give some examples of other open source projects (not ones run by massive corporations like Google, which obviously can afford to do enterprise support) that have full enterprise support?
