Serious question: why? It's a buzzword for sure, but there are billions of dollars being invested in real companies with real customers solving real problems that all would identify as cloud native.
All it means is 'we existed after the cloud started to gain traction. We won't have an on-prem option, we're much more likely to integrate with things like Docker and Kubernetes, and our licensing model will accommodate now-normal things like autoscaling and containerisation'.
EDIT: I wrote this before reading the article or many other comments. The fact that my description is basically right (other than missing that this is an open source project, so licensing terms aren't relevant) further proves my point that 'cloud native' isn't a buzzword, and has concrete meaning.
