There are several things to be remarked

ideally this should be a vendor responsibility
however many DBAs don't want vendors dictating them anything and rightly so, because many vendors (especially those of database agnostic apps) don't have sufficient Oracle knowledge on board.
Most vendors graduated in the Cover Ur Ass science. Your vendor might decide to play nasty in the future, claiming you changed the settings.
