Oracle’s business model, afaict, is to make it as obscure and buggy as possible so that you need to hire specialized professional to manage what should actually be trivial. The pros then are incentivized to persuade management to buy it.

As funny as that is, it's really just companies going with the "standard" thing even if it's worse. "Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM" and today Amazon makes all its profit from Web Services, which is only profitable because companies choose it even if it costs more.

Similarly, "nobody ever got fired for hiring from Harvard". Companies try to be standard in everything except a specialty, copying other companies, eg copying Google hiring practices that only work because many people want to work at Google.
