I'm not sure off the top of my head on Change Data Capture, and I agree long
term trends are valid concerns.

However:  Securefiles has long (possibly forever) been included without
additional options. [Regardless of what anyone (a salesman perhaps) claims,
advanced security is NOT required for secure files.]

Quoting Kevin from oracle-l on a thread from 2013-May:
"
SecureFiles is part of Oracle Database 11g, and does not require you to
license any options. If you want to compress and/or deduplicate your
SecureFiles LOBs, then you need to license ACO, and if you want to encrypt
your SecureFiles LOBs, then you need to license ASO.
So, you can go forward in production with SecureFiles LOBs without having to
license anything more than the database itself.

I thought I read that BLOB'S had to be stored using SecureFiles.  Is the use
of SecureFiles now included in the base product?  Also
when was Change Data Capture first deprecated? Now deprecated  doesn't mean
the  feature is gone, but does mean it may be so in the future.   GoldenGate
is the suggested alternative.  There is more to the licensing question than
just the new option.

Though to Oracle's credit there's only one *new* option so existing
customers with the relevant options will be able to take advantage of many
of them.
To their detriment its the one thing they've been plugging for months the
multi-tenant capability. Which bears a striking resemblance to mature
non-extra cost features that competitors have had for years.
