But there wouldn't be any grounds to sue a support company "if things go
bad", because support contracts aren't written in a way that exposes the
support company to any liability for "bad things".  The contracts require
that the support company "respond" to problems within certain time limits,
but they cannot guarantee that that response will result in the resolution
of the problem to the satisfaction of the customer.

And that's because it isn't possible to make such a guarantee.  MS doesn't
guarantee it to their customers, nor does any other proprietary software
company, and neither do Red Hat, SuSE, or Canonical.
