He doesn't have to understand it. He has chosen not to understand it.
Oracle Corporation is in the:
"Corporate Server Business".
The Oracle DB and most other apps do not run on "Linux". They run on an "Enterprise Linux".

The fact that you can hack your iPhone and run some Linux derivative on it is inconsequential to Oracle.
