Speculating, amongst the "Android" options there are four categories:
- There are the expensive legacy relational solutions (these are on a long slow death).
- There are small open source and sometimes even closed source projects that are either going to be dead or gobbled up; or at least far too many people will fear they will which will prevent adoption.
- There are cloud-native lock-in solutions.
- There are well-established large community open source projects that stay alive because there's enough stakeholders but they don't have strong commercial backers.
All of these categories are a surprisingly interesting market opportunity for a disruptive commercially backed more vertically integrated open source player to target.
