I think the intangible costs that are missing is the key.
People who make purchase decisions have a hard time weighing intangibles.
Surely there must be some way to make them tangible. A number of studies
indicate that IBM i requires fewer people to administer. People are
tangible.
Maybe we need to keep reminding people to add people into the equation.
The efficiency of the integrated OS/DB gets minimized way too much.
It seems that DB efficiency would show up in benchmarks. Do they?
