I'm not sure there's much rationale to unpack. What benefit does proprietary have over open for the user? The reason I even bother to state the obvious in the case of Datomic is that having this 1 restricted area in the otherwise open ecosystem around Clojure makes me want to start looking for an alternative environment. I'm sure everyone else that says it feels similar and just hopes if enough people say it, it'll be opened up. Obviously, Clojure can be used without Datomic, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on the bigger vision by not using it and I don't like that feeling because that's exactly how vendor lock-in begins.
