Well exactly. :)
But I stated it because some people believe that this is an advantage.
For me it's guaranteed failure propagation - whether Oracle Home is
removed by accident or patch application screwed up.


        "It's supposedly easier to manage"

the HA characteristics of the architecture.


True. But every tool for its own job. (paraphrasing "it depends").
