Only a few, but some of those startups will become the software giants of tomorrow and they will not use anything from the Oracle ecosystem. Something to be really worried about.

As per my comment above, Oracle doesn't care about those startups, whether they become the "software giants of tomorrow" or not.

They sell to government agencies, logistics, payroll, multi-nationals, banks, finance, insurance companies, etc.

Those sectors do not overlap with the startups using MariaDB, Mongo, or what have you. Totally different problem domains and people.
