What if you worked at a shop where this mythical administrator you describe does not exist. Such being the case, wouldn't an existing Oracle DBA be more likely to adopt to the position than, say, a janitor, and developer or a reporting person?

Also, isn't a database backend with a catalog which has a lot of similarities to the RDBMS catalog and it's objects heavily involved in AS administration. If no one else, wouldn't a person with Oracle DBA experience at least have a head start?
