Right.. shove your data in our data platform.

OK now you need PortCo1's company analytics platform, PortCo2's orchestration platform, PortCo3's SRE platform, PortCo4's Auth platform, PortCo5's IaC platform, PortCo6's Secrets Mgmt Platform, PortoCo7's infosec platform, etc.

I am sure I forgot another 10 things. Even if some of these things were open source or "open source", there was the upsell to the managed/supported/business license/etc version for many of these tools.

This is the primary failure of data platforms from my perspective. You need too many 3rd parties/partners to actually get anything done with your data and costs become unbearable.
