Can't say anything about SAP (except that the Germans tell me it's an abbreviation for Schreck Angst Panik)
But I used to work with Oracle at my old job, and the cost for the support includes all upgrades and updates of the software which has to be said is the greater part of the support cost.
In fact, the comparison to SQL Server was a breakeven if we would have kept upgrading it to the latest version.

Also, I used to work with Crystal Reports before SAP bought it. It's the most aggravating piece of software I have ever worked with.
To the level that I swapped it out for DevExpress. (In hindsight, that was one of the best decisions I've made work wise.
