Nor is DB2. A non trivial amount of HN's personal wealth is being tracked with this technology right now.
I'll admit I don't even know what DB2 is
It's IBMs SQL database: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Db2

Oh, huh I don't think I ever in my life considered what one's brand portfolio is when selecting which technology stack is good. But that explains why so many websites have big brand names on their homepage like "oracle and uber use us!" if some people actually care about that

One. Continue. For each you mention, I can think of 10 other well-known web apps that don't use them. 90% of the web doesn't use those 2. That's the fact.
One.

Right but having access to a Cadence license is considered "elite" (it means you are a Real Engineer), while having to use mssql server means you're kind of a schlub (who probably has to work for a real business, that makes money but is super boring, with no equity, among people who don't understand any of this status hierarchy at all).
I work with charities and non-profits, they tend to use Microsoft stack and things like Salesforce due to the large charity discounts and readily available support. I get to work with nice people doing meaningful things.
Sorry, parody probably doesn't come across well. I was trying to ridicule the kind of elitism that causes mssql to be "invisible" in many internet bubbles.
