The lack of concurrency will cause major changes to the application. SQL Server apps tend to require a lot of temporary tables for reporting purposes, as the data can change while it is being read.

Not a recipe for success.

Is there a business case for this move to SQL Server?

I doubt that it's price. MS does not give this product away.

For some licensing situations it may be less than Oracle, but not enough to make it worthwhile to rewrite an app.

You can't really 'port' this to SQL Server. It is a rewrite.
