I mean, yes and no. "No", for the purposes of many traditional non-IT large enterprises. CIO of large company sees value in having "one neck to choke" for their HR Application, Proxy Server, Web Server, App Server, Database Server, Enterprise Service Bus, Search Engine, Monitoring Software, etc. A simple licensing and support model with streamlined contract model as opposed to 27 bespoke contracts with "never heard of them" consulting/support companies for each level of the open-source stack which "nobody owns" (https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/northamerica/ https://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_support/nort...). At ground level, we may not see value in the same way; we may complain and moan about it; about vendor lock-in, license cost, slow pace, etc etc etc. I certainly did, for decades :).
