I don't think those people and corporations matter to Oracle.
Oracle doesn't go after startups. Or even companies like Facebook or Dropbox etc.
It goes after: government agencies, banks, insurance companies, multi-nationals, huge retail chains, logistics, payroll, and such. And it does a killing at it.
Web style big-data are not Oracle's domain.
And it's not like those startup people will afterwards (when they "grow up") go work in the enterprise and use Mongo and MariaDB there. It's just different kind of problem domains altogether.
