There's a business model of "Give us enough money and we will solve all your Foo related problems." Oracle has a widget to solve any IT / Data related problem for a naive enterprise who's core business is not IT. One vendor, one bill, one support contract, assurance that if your board asks you to do some other thing (we need a thingawidgit for compliance for our peoplethinger! Oracle's got peoplethingerwidget !). Amazon's AWS is the same for IT these days. Need a queue? We've got 3! Interestingly, oracle where I work, where we have a lot of oracle, was only 2-3x the cost of our slack license. So either slack was absurdly expensive or oracle isn't actually that expensive, or possibly both. But we only use oracle DB + some support oracle DB widgets, not the whole oracle ecosystem. And for us, the oracle DB and the widgets have been actual facilitators in our enterprise. Need a CDC system? They've got 3!
