It's plenty loved, I'd say the most loved, but still a fair way behind Oracle in terms of popularity just because of legacy stuff. Damn legacy code, hecking JQuery was still the most used JS framework until just this year!

Oracle and popularity don't really go together. Oracle is really common, just like root-canal treatments. Wouldn't refer to either as popular, though.

I have a vague feeling that those who use Oracle are using it due to circumstance or corporate necessity.

One of the last straws for a job I had once was realizing that the oracle python client would convert money fields into float.

Oracle had its tentacles everywhere in that company. I think even they wanted to stop using it but it was just integrated to too much.

Oracle is a hot mess but it also has some really powerful features, like table sharding , that actually works if you manage to set it up correctly.

To be clear, Oracle's popularity isn't popularity in the sense of popular folk love. Unless you mean popularity in the most rancid disgust available en masse.
