While I'm not a fan of Oracle, I have to correct you: Oracle DB runs just fine on Oracle Linux. It installs exactly the same way that it does on RHEL, same checklist.

That's kinda my point - why do they ship a Linux distribution without the prerequisites for their flagship product preinstalled?

Probably because they don't want to deal with the overhead of maintaining patches to RHEL source.
