You might be misremembering why Netscape became irrelevant. Microsoft using their operating system monopoly to release an inferior but free browser was one element. Companies then making webpages work for IE, which didn't follow web standards was another. Netscape throwing out their perfectly good source code and starting from scratch was another. Netscape losing their revenue stream was another, since Microsoft could subsidize IE costs with Windows. Yes, money was a factor, but it wasn't the sole factor, and possibly not the most important.
