I have a vague feeling that those who use Oracle are using it due to circumstance or corporate necessity.

One of the last straws for a job I had once was realizing that the oracle python client would convert money fields into float.

Oracle had its tentacles everywhere in that company. I think even they wanted to stop using it but it was just integrated to too much.

Oracle is a hot mess but it also has some really powerful features, like table sharding , that actually works if you manage to set it up correctly.
