I think you have a point, that the MBA degree can prepare you for management, but until you have some years of experience, you don't truly know management. Your analogy of DBA experience vs. OCP is probably a good one.
But the Oracle DBA that is taking classes in the evening probably just wants some exposure to business terms and concepts. If you will end up managing people at some point, it is good to understand standard business personnel methods. We've all probably worked for somebody who was "making it up as they went along".
