The justification for the latter is that MySQL is not powerful enough
(compare to Oracle or DB2) to handle large amount of data and concurrent
users.

Not true and it has been proven time and again by the likes of Yahoo and
others that size. We routinely use MySQL for large data stores (upwards
of half a billion records in a single table) and with proper management
we have performance equal to or better than the above mentioned products
without the overhead required by either of those.
