If you want to write some code and do some oracle, SQLcl has access to
javascript, jython, groovy, etc. I’m sure there’s a way to init a bind there

hehe, which started as the ufi (user friendly interface), which some customers
called the uvi (user viscious interface) for things like its lack of a history
buffer and so forth.
You are correct that it was never intended as a programming tool. Oracle had
Pro*C for amateurs and the C call libraries for professionals. And at 300 baud,
you had better figure out a way to avoid telecom line turn-arounds in the
middle of a transaction, too, and with 25 MHz cpus and table locking you better
avoid parses in the middle of transactions, too.
UFI was competitive with its competition as a quick way to ask the database
quick questions.

.... in sqlplus the exec :x := &x will be parsed each time,
those will be unavoidable (sqlplus is not a programming environment, it is just
a simple command line tool)
Yes, I wish sqlplus had a way to initialize a bind variable -- it would be
nice.
<===
So possibly that it was event a design choice of Oracle development team, since
sqlplus was more seen a command line tool, not a programming tool.
