Why aren't more companies using ScyllaDB

Question

ScyllaDB has bold performance and cost efficiency claims against long standing DBs like MongoDB, Cassandra and DynamoDB.Which makes it sound like a no brainer to migrate. (Obviously use case permitting)Discord, Comcast, Epic Games are using ScyllaDB so I wonder, why aren't more companies considering or using ScyllaDB?

I can tell from my own workplace, scylladb people approached me for it. I make the design decisions but don't have the purchasing power while those who have the power,don't mind using anything else unless you have good reasons to persuade them. I won't have good reasons to persuade them unless I've tried it in production and played with it. I hope you see the cycle.

In which area wide-column database shines overall ? Is the licensing the same as Postgre and such ?The post of Discord switching from Cassandra to Scylla was super interesting.

My last company used it, they even had an enterprise support contract about 5+ years ago. There were some growing pains however. Random performance issues and some other features didn't work as well as Cassandra.I think most of that has been solved, so I feel confident in recommending it. But also, Cassandra is pretty good as well.

MongoDB Favors Flexibility over Performance, While ScyllaDB Favors Consistent Performance over Versatility. Why not use both?
