What is the rent here, enterprise licensing? Quasi-monopolist? Does MongoDB have anywhere near a majority of market share for database vendor?

In technology, it's often the cost of re-integrating with something else. MongoDB makes this lock in ever better because it's API isn't SQL, so getting off is even harder than usual.
It's pretty easy to use the Mongo protocol to talk to Postgres, and Postgres JSONB beats Mongo BSON hands down
