#3If it doesn't come with a bundled illumos I don't want it.

#4No security patches, 2 CPU/2GB RAM/12GB storage limits, and pretty much every advanced feature is missing (https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/2...). In other words, about what you'd expect from ORCL.

#6One should not be so obsessed with the cheese that they forget about the trap. Nothing good can come from this.

#7I am trying hard to see who could be the target audience for such a thing.
My best guess is engineers who are not currently employed, but who would like to up specifically their Oracle skills, as opposed to other valuable alternatives like Postgres.
Am I missing something?

Simple VMs for testing purposes are useful for infrastructure consultants and developers, in niches where the products support Oracle as deployment database.
It's a smaller and smaller audience, because of cloud taking over, but someone still needs it.

This is not "the next version available for free", this is them refreshing the free offering they've had for more than a decade (previously known as Oracle XE). They do that every few years.
XE was released to match SQLServer Express, which in turn was released because MySQL and PostgreSQL were eating their lunch among small dev shops (they still are). Nowadays nobody cares, unless they have to maintain some legacy product.
