I think the questions you ask demonstrate that you already understand the issue completely.
I'm just a noob asking questions and I'm having a very hard time detecting sarcasm on the internet these days - can you elaborate a bit, please? :-)

No sarcasm. Thanks for asking (no sarcasm, again).
You asked the right questions, IMO, and I think they are self evident.
> do they fill the exact same space?
No.
> is Blender adopted by different types of companies?
Yes.
A company or institution that has money to burn will opt for more "professional" suites (Maya, Microsoft, ...). Smaller entities will use the cheaper alternatives (Blender, Linux, ...).
Those are different niches. Not even Apple has managed to budge Window out of corporate environments, though it is a lot more present than 20 years ago.
I imagine it's similar with Blender and Maya: do they fill the exact same space? Or is Blender adopted by different types of companies (probably smaller)?
