I am squarely in their target demographic and yet refuse to provide my email. I like keeping noise low in my work inbox - if I will decide I'd like to buy something from cockroachDB, I'll approach them. It's purely negative value to have them approach me - I have never received any useful messages by being on a marketing list.
It takes way less than 5 minutes to generate a temporary email address.
Also, I fail to see how refusing to provide your email address correlates with frugality. If anything, people who are cheapskates would be happy to pay with anything but money.
