Some long running websites are still using Oracle as MS SQL was only "new" (Bought in from Sybase at about V.6.0) and Oracle had Web server APIs. IBM DB2 was more suited to non-Web servers. Those are now on Linux servers but the original Web servers used Solaris on Sun boxes.

A huge amount of work to change to MySQL (or MariaDB now), so they keep paying the Oracle licence money.
