To be fair, maybe they do make good enterprise database software. There's got to be something to their success apart from lock-in.

Just make sure you don't benchmark it. Comparing to the competition is a serious breach of contract.

Oracle is not an abusive relationship, it's just that you shouldn't be looking elsewhere, and infractions will be punished. They are very serious about audits.
