a) Oracle is proven at scale.

b) Large global talent pool of Oracle experts.

c) First-class professional support.

Not everyone is looking to innovate on their database. Many just want something that is reliable and easily supported.

Oracle is also arcane, buggy and poorly documented (the buggy really surprised me when I first started using it). And there are much less resources online compared to the other big databases.
