Of course they don't. No company advertises what software it uses
internally. They don't advertise that they use accounting software X,
operating system Y, or instant message tool Z. They don't advertise that
they use Foo brand telephones or Bar brand furniture. They have other
things to do.

The advertisings for Oracle are because Oracle is seen to be rock solid.
But no one advertises that they use MS SQL Server, Sybase, or Informix.
That creates the association (just like PostgreSQL, if PostgreSQL had any
association), it's almost as good but cheaper. Why would anyone advertise
with that?

On the other hand, those places that do advertise that they're using a
particular non-Oracle database either have a marketing interest of their
own, or they do not, in fact, have other things to do.
