Because I'm a dinosaur, and believe a database should be a database, and not some &^%!$. We can now browse the internet, watch video's and listen to music in Oracle. Nice, but not (always) a database in my book.

So, I do not install the JVM when I don't need it - and save 50% on install time :)
And I do not use db control, I am in control (mostly ;) )
