You didn't get flamed, you got downvoted, apparently because you don't understand what it means for a company such as Veeam to "support" a technology such as Proxmox. It does not mean that they offer technical support for Proxmox, but rather that their product will provide some form of backup and recovery for Proxmox VMs. (I should point out that it's currently vaporware. "General availability for Proxmox VE support is expected in Q3 2024" [0]) Even if they were to offer technical support for Proxmox (they won't) that wouldn't guarantee that they would be "the winner", and there's no guarantee of that in the backup space either. Veeam is primarily a VMware backup product with no support for the majority of workloads that large enterprises also run, so is popular in SMEs. It also has poor deduplication, making storage costs for backups considerably higher than with alternatives. If VMware's intention is to target their largest customers and eject the long tail, that leaves Veeam with a limited market. Veeam has seen that the writing's on the wall; it remains to be seen if Proxmox support will be enough to save them, as there are plenty of other alternatives to VMware.
