Leadership doesn't care about the software/database customer. As a result, anyone and everyone is just a number.
Leadership is also aware that it is not as easy as a flick of a switch from Oracle DB/software to something else, particularly the enterprise ones. As a result, they will keep rising the prices or use the vendor lock-in tactics until it gets to a point where it doesn't make sense for the customer. By then, they would be AI ready, and whoever is left is just another number, all over again.
The way forward is AI and maybe some stuff on OCI, meaning a Data Center company. Software is on its way out, no new features.
Why does leadership behave like this? Because they can! You are all adults. Get a grip!
