OK now you need PortCo1's company analytics platform, PortCo2's orchestration platform, PortCo3's SRE platform, PortCo4's Auth platform, PortCo5's IaC platform, PortCo6's Secrets Mgmt Platform, PortoCo7's infosec platform, etc.
I am sure I forgot another 10 things.
Even if some of these things were open source or "open source", there was the upsell to the managed/supported/business license/etc version for many of these tools.
This is the primary failure of data platforms from my perspective. You need too many 3rd parties/partners to actually get anything done with your data and costs become unbearable.
