I think I agree with you. Most databases these days get adopted by being open source, or pretty inexpensive for hobby projects. That lets engineers experiment with them, get comfortable and then recommend them for a major project. I'm not even going to get started with spanner, so I'm not sure how I would build up the confidence to use it in a major deployment.
