That still doesn't work because the core issue is partially addressed.

Reliable on call support. Oracle is not going to vanish overnight or de prioritize you due to lack of resources.

The possibility of that risk in other firms is sufficient to make them non options

Many of the companies making proprietary products with high lockin have terrible support just because they know you cant leave. Whereas it's the opposite for some startups and FOSS companies knowing how easy it is for them to loose business. So, I dont buy that as an advantage of companies like Oracle.

You want support for sure but big companies are hit and miss on support quality.
