More than other big tech companies: ye. Oracle's deception machine begins with the claim that it's a tech company. It is not. It's a litigation company, not dissimilar to what we now call "patent trolls". Their business model is to infiltrate themselves into a company by any means necessary, then hold it hostage using their law department tentacles.

Have you ever noticed how their products never - ever - improve over time? Thy don't have to innovate. If they fall too much behind on a segment, they just buy some new product. To me, that's their most evil aspect. I don't care if some corporation gets held hostage by some other corporation. Let the billionaires fight to death, I don't care. The sad externality of it is the death of innovation.
