There is no reason, why each application should end up in a separate database.
So what we actually see here, is the combined stupidity of developers and dbas and bean counters.
Putting each applicaition in a separate database is just a method to waste resources.
Obviously there are other ways to put application offline, simply by changing the tablespace status.
Woe the 'company' which marriages incompetent developers and/or incompetent 3rd party sw with incompetent dbas and incompetent management.
They will throw away way more money, they even might get bankrupt.
