I've seen the opposite: It's hard to find a large company that doesn't use Oracle (but many would love to get away from it)

See this chart from Gartner DBMS Market Share stack ranks - Oracle was #1 for a long time:

Snowflake is now #9 on this chart.

It's interesting that Alibaba cloud and Huawei are ahead of Snowflake
