Completely agree with your reading Hans, but I read it as, "Oracle Database Standard Edition 2 delivers unprecedented ease of use, power, and performance for blah, blah, and Web applications."
A web application, to me, is couple of application servers, with a database back end that is protected in some way (RAC, data guard, or scripted equiv)
And since the SE2 license could cover a reasonably priced server with 16 cores, 512gb ram and 24 ssd's, it could run a pretty big web application.
And besides, does it matter what oracle marketing says it is for, the only thing that matters is what the license is valid for.
We use oracle Standard One for plenty of systems, and do really like to here other people in the community giving their view.
When I pointed out the removal of Oracle SE One, our director said to 'spin up a PostgreSQL db and lets have a look at that' I love the oracle database and didn't like the sound of that.
