I've expected this to happen, but tbh i didn't expect it to take this long.

They went for a fundamentally "lock in to a startup DB that's fully proprietary so you're screwed if we go under" which is now happening.

Open source _helps a bit_, but it doesn't change that customers now have to self-manage a database. I'm guessing most of their customers are not particularly savvy at DB self-hosting.
