No idea about the relationship between MongoDB and DigitalOcean, but note that you've linked to the "community" edition; their site also shows an "enterprise" edition, which is more likely for a large entity like DigitalOcean to be using.
That's a great point, thanks for bringing it up! I've updated my original post with this detail as a possible explanation, since it's the one that makes the most sense.
I guess that MinIO or any other company could also do something similar, have dual licenses, where interested parties can pay for commercial usage and whatnot.
Why is it more likely?
