Well, from my experience, I would have to give the 
Gartner Report some credence. The kind of ecommerce 
sites they are referring to includes the back-end 
integration, which is extremely expensive to build. MV is 
great for building the ecommerce front-end, but is rather 
lacking in integration abilities to back-end transaction 
systems. Also, the report implies (since the report 
includes media firms as part of the development process) 
that promoting and advertising the site is also included as 
part of the cost. 

Having said that, I do think that MV is a great product, 
supported by a very responsible group of people (ie you).
I have used it on several sites. and no, i don't claim to 
make the kind of money that the report is referring to. i'm 
just happy to pay my rent and feed myself. heh.
