Sorry to burst your bubble, but the business world is a drop in the bucket compared to the consumer world in total handsets. Were this not the case, you would not see RIM trying to appease the consumer market with social media features in OS 6.
RIM themselves claims that the consumer market is 10x the size of their business market:

In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires, RIM's Chief Operating Officer Don Morrison said the company is looking to grow its customer base and target professionals who are short of time but want to send e-mails via mobile phones, alongside using MP3 music players, digital cameras and mobile internet.
"It is an addressable market that could be 10 times the size of our traditional market and it has extremely low penetration right now," said Morrison.

I do not think RIM will fall out of the top-3 in the business market though, I will agree with you on the front.
