Fair point. I have zero experience with Berkeley DB so I've stayed out of
the fray. But I do have experience with Oracle's "embedded" license
structure and depending on the application and how embedded the database
actually is, Oracle offers up to an 80% discount on the price. Not bad.
But, regarding the OP's original question "Why is Oracle unaffordable?" we
must remember it is customers who drive the price up, not Oracle.
