Happy Monday.
This seems to me to be equivalent (and bad for the same reasons) to cable
companies and/or ISPs being co-owned with program providers.

How will this affect *your* operations planning, if at all? Am I being
overly cynical about Larry Ellison?

Don't blame ya I'm a little negative on this one too as I can already "assume" specialized DNS integration with oracle products among possibly ?oracle cloud? Structures spawning up for competition with AWS, Azure ... others but these are just speculations.
I chuckled at "In September, after the release of Oracle's second-generation
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) datacenters, Oracle CTO Larry Ellison
proclaimed that "Amazon's lead is over" in the cloud market."

Route53 just uses Dyn and Ultra. I would expect AWS to roll out their own
soon.
Lets just hope so, or Id think that the there will eventually be a price hike by AWS to compensate for Oracle’s outrageous costs.
But again only speculation at this point.
Oracle has exhibition booths at most web hosting events in Europe. They get very little traffic. Am skeptical they can be a player.

This is completely false.

Yes false. Amazon do use dyn + others for their own domains in addition to
their own Route 53 but Route 53 itself is a completely separate service.

amazonaws.com is split Route 53/ultra - given resolver retry behavior
and the impact of screwing up DNS, there's little reason not to use
multiple providers on such a domain. However, most subdomains will
delegate to R53 only (eg. dig +trace s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com).
None of this is related to Route 53 as a service.
