Clarifying false assertions by Oracle sales about Oracle licensing on Azure constrained VMs

I'm mostly curious as to why they charge by the processor and in what way that makes sense. I guess you've got to choose where to charge somewhere. Was there like a coin flip, or like someone noticed there might be a nifty way to overcharge customers and was like "Yeah, that, let's do that!" 

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Lots of talk regarding Oracle around here. (Well, meh, this is the second I've run into.)

Sounds like both a resource hog, and that they charge off an interesting choice of hardware (which is likely virtualized in some way anyhow). I'd be interested to know the link between Oracle and charging by the number of cores Asserting though, urgh, incredulous. 

HyperV, anyone know if it alleviates strain from Oracle processes?
