Kinda ironic that Planetscale built their company on open source Vitess that google built
And now planetscale have made a Vitess like equivalent for Postgres which they have made proprietary

They have made it proprietary so that providers like AWS can't build their own service with it, thus eating into PS's income.
Google is big enough to survive open-sourcing Vitess, k8s, angular, etc. Planetscale isn't.
correct. AWS do anti-competitive stuff to us all the time we can't make it any easier for them.
Google, Azure, and AWS already have their highly available PostgreSQL alternatives.
