Yes, as an individual you do. But you're not a network of universities with 250,000 students a year that NEEDS the system to work.
(Also, most people don't agree they're paying Oracle $600M for this... there's no source, and it's likely significantly less.)
My understanding is that this network of universities is in fact a bunch of individuals who sometimes care about costs they are generating for their customers.
