The answer is simple: Data Guard is usually used in company data centre,
to provide high availability and, in case of active data guard, load
balancing and data protection (active Data Guard provides automatice
protection from corrupt blocks).
And the vendor you selected must be extremely good when they're afraid
that the standby database might stop working at any time. That reminds me
of the stories about the early 20th century and fears that all those
electric cables would do bad things to the lambs.
