The MS SQL adept administrators and developers are adept in Windows
administration so I don't see them advocating SQL Server on Linux. But time
will tell. Maybe Windows administrators are clamoring to leave the Windows
platform.

Yes, you did. DB2, as opposed to MySQL or PostgreSQL is a full
featured alternative which is making inroads on Linux. Believe it or
not, I see more and more of DB2 on Linux clients. However, it seems
that IBM has neglected the sales of DB2 and that DB2 is not their
strategic product, so there aren't many applications available to
run against DB2. There are many applications available to run
against MS SQL. And there are many MS SQL adept administrators and
developers, which is unfortunately not the case with DB2. Anyway,
the time will tell.
