It's a different model. I'm an "audio professional" in the television
and
radio industry and I use Linux exclusively for anything that doesn't
depend on Windows drivers (i.e. mpeg-2 boards, closed caption boxes, etc,
etc). I also contribute to development of free and open audio software,
mostly in the internet radio direction. I've found there's less
product-centric focus and more creativity and support for degugging and
innovation.

It's fair to say that Linux *audio* developers aren't generally paid
to work on their audio applications, but that doesn't mean they
aren't professional developers of course.
and things don't move as fast as
the $$$ world.
I think that depends what you're comparing it to. Cubase has a very
long head start!
