Agree on the lock in comment, however, can't we say that of anything one is dependent on in the tech stack, whether that be at the java vs javascript vs python, or now aws vs azure vs gcp?
Have always wondered that lock in concern seems to be only mentioned in light of dbs, but not any other piece of the tech stack.

One common argument they use is that if you write your business logic in stored procedure, you are locked to that database since stored procedure languages are pretty much vendor locked.
TBH when one sees tens of thousands of Oracle PL/SQL code, there is some truth in this.
