If any Oxide staff are here, I'm just curious, is BlueSky a customer? Seems like it would fit well with their on-prem setup.

Not Oxide or Bluesky, but firstly I'd suggest that asking the company about their customers is unlikely to get a response, most companies don't disclose their customers. Secondly, Bluesky have been growing quickly, I can only assume their hardware is too, and that means long lead time products like an Oxide rack aren't going to work, especially when you can have an off the shelf machine from Dell delivered in a few days.

In my head I'm imagining an average landing page. They slap their customers on there like stickers. I doubt bluesky would stay secretive about using oxide if they did

Those customers listed on the front page of companies are there as part of an agreement. Usually something like a discount. Certainly they are not listed without permission. 10x that if it is a case study.

I think they often are listed without permission unfortunately, and often literally based on on the the email addresses of people signing up for a trial. I see my company's logo on the landing page of many products that we don't use or may even have a policy preventing our use of.
