Depends what you mean by people. Outside of the startup space you'll find commercial RDBMS everywhere, especially OracleDB. Not many are running banks or hospitals on Postgres.

I work at a big company, we run on SAP as the big commercial DBMS, but also have some oracle instances. By number by far the most widespread commercial RDBMS seems to be SQL Server
