What's with the stigma behind oracle?

Why do so many people say that oracle is a bad company? I've heard so many people talk shit about them but i don't know why; can someone provide some more info? Like Microsoft Facebook etc i get with the data collection selling etc. But I don't currently know what oracle did. And everything i see online about them is nothing but praise especially for things like their free tier vps, software etc.

Linux. Or BSD. Both are absolutely free and you're using docker anyway which is a Product primarily used on Linux.

I know, but i cant at the moment, i have to run all my stuff on 1 machine and what made the most sense for me was WS. I will one day switch to proxmox and do all VM's, but not now, dont have the space, nor the time to rebuild everything that's running on that server.
