This is just because you don't care and have never looked. Stating performance is being reduced by implementing propietary features is just the same utterly nonsensical drivel you have been posting here over and over again for the last few weeks. Shouldn't you just stop posting this drivel and start learning what performance is about?
I'm right now dealing with an ISV who never tuned any of their statements. They probably don't even know the difference between CBO and RBO, and they are implicitly using both. Those are people like you who don't care about database performance, because they treat the database like a trash can. People who state database performance is irrelevant just show their complete incompetency.
You just don't know what you are talking about.
