We have a medium sized Quarkus app (~200kLOC) and Quarkus has been fantastic. Startup in JVM mode for our app is around 10 secs. Not blazing fast - but likely much faster than a typical Java enterprise app. I'm sure a few of those secs are spent doing things like pulling authz policies from github or due to having several thousand hibernate entities.
It will take some time for Quarkus to become a significant enough presence in the market share. In my experience, for the majority of Java shops Spring Boot does just fine because it worked before and it will probably work in the future.
If you have a spare usb stick, the cost to trying them is only the download time. Each is capable of the same things, the differences are purely aesthetic. So try them out and see which you like best. Or install all three and switch each time you login.
You actually don't know the true cost until you learn the quirks of the UI, how it handles proprietary drivers, upgrades, the packaging system, how up-to-date and complete its packages are, etc.
I suppose the data just ended up in their hands at no fault of their own, through complete random happenstance, unrelated to their previous employment with DOGE?
