What do you mean by "Oracle's management-by-asphyxiation"?

And is it that Oracle has such marketplace strength that it can get away with holding the deadwood? I had heard that Oracle was a very competitive place.

"Too big to fail" market attitude, I guess.

"Too big to fail" usually involves outsiders (government) propping up companies. (Think GM or Bank of America) I don't think the government is propping up Oracle.
