No kidding. I remember back in the .NET 4.5 days and SQL Server was per-socket pricing while Oracle and whatnot were per-core. It was an amazing deal.

Then SQL Server went per-core and our pricing went up 8-fold.

Been using PostgreSQL ever since.

SQLs socket/core pricing is a pain.

We wanted some instances, had to get our hosting provider to dig up previous generation CPU machines so we could have a lower core count. They were like "We'll give you the extra cores for free", Until we explained that it was for SQL License reasons.
