I'm not sure what you're arguing. MSSQL is available on RDS and to quote the parent comment:

You dont think this is hyperbole? Have you actually used SQL Server or Microsoft support before? They do not treat enterprise customers this way and both Linux and MSSQL have plenty of tooling available. There's nothing challenging here.

You're not the target market then. MSSQL has some compelling features and a big ecosystem, adding cross-platform support and a much easier installation process only helps customers with more options for deployment.

Oops, you're right; I thought it wasn't on RDS. My mistake, and a good reminder to double check these things.
