And _this_ is the critical point in your argumentation.

From my personal experience with Oracle, "don't care" is the perfect description of the attitude of Oracle, the company.

Working in a bank for a living, I have _never_ seen more arrogant "bring us to your leaders, we don't talk to you earthling" sales droids invading our beloved little IT department. I was not the only one getting that impression that day, so our strategic company database product is now not Oracle...

But that is a different story to be told another time,
