I never said these things were popular or in widespread use. They might be
-- I wouldn't know. In the past 10 years, I have only encountered OEM used
to monitor *Oracle* in a small fraction of the sites I have visited, but
that could be because the sites I get to visit are part of a self-selecting
group (people who are willing to hire people like me) and in no way are
representative of the norm.
I rather suspect that if Oracle made OEM a more affordable choice for
monitoring its own products it may gain traction and become more popular
with other products. Or not. I am not a marketing professional, and I
have no data, so how would I know?
In any case, the discussion here -- at least as pertains to OEM -- is more
about what *can* be done, not so much about what usually *is* done.

not turn up some kind of plugins for DB2, Postgres, etc.
encountered OEM 12c as monitoring software of choice. It is used mainly for
monitoring Oracle. Which tells me all I need to know about the perception
of the tool. The main question is not the one about availability of
plugins, the main question is the one about the number of users. And
somehow, I don't think there are many of those using OEM 12c to monitor SQL
Server. I can make a case for Nagios or Zabbix in a minute, and price
remains the same. And so can any Windows, Linux or MySQL administrator.
