Great points, but I think that banning open source databases would have been better not for employees, but for shareholders.

Aren't employees of US tech companies typically also shareholders, by virtue of part of their compensation being paid in company stock?
For private companies to an extent yes. In public companies that’s just a way to increase your employees compensation without harming your free cashflow. I don’t think tax wise it’s any different than them paying you more in cash and then you buying the same amount of shares.
Not really, they cannot vote so their shares are completely meaningless and can become worthless very easily.
