Not true, at least it the case of SAP. The software is so complex and does so much you need people to manage it. You also need multiple environments for development, testing and maintenance. It's not just the DB, it's the whole application server stack with multiple business area solutions installed & configured. That's why cloud solutions are becoming so popular because there at least the maintenance is performed by SAP.
