The point is that is not a convenient business model to just sell support, I can definitely understand why they are trying to sell features.

Thing is they are competing with PostgresSQL which you can extensively try for free before opting for a support.

"Free" being already hard to beat. The fact that you can't extensively test a solution is a real turn down for me (unless negotiating with commercials which is not nerds cup of tea).
