Are any new companies choosing Oracle products? Or are they really only relying on banks,insurance companies and other blue chips to take up their 'cloud' offer

  No. And banks, insurance companies etc are moving rapidly to try and get away from Oracle, Teradata etc.

  This is actually a question I never had a good answer for. If I'm a developer, and am going to create a complicated line of business application, are there non-political reasons that I'd want to target Oracle as opposed to, say, Postgres or Maria?

    If it has a feature that's cheaper than creating and supporting it yourself. Oracle the database is literally state-of-the-art. Being database-neutral means only using lowest-common-denominator features, which in turn means if you need it, you gotta write it and maintain it.
