So it is about single private company by founders of Apache Spark. Not sure I'd call it mafia. Further I see that a high performance distributed data processing system implemented in Rust is building up around Apache Arrow. So Databricks lead and hence valuations will be quite difficult to maintain.

This reads like a pre-IPO puff piece, nothing more. Without getting into how obnoxious the term is, there's no "mafia" here. And I'm not buying the altruism so vainly on display. Goes to show how modern tech journalism is basically commissioned.

Databricks unique selling point is the scalable data lake. The AI functionality is used, however, is hyped with a lot of hot air in this article. I can't see Databricks hitting $100 billion anytime soon.
