There is a strong price incentive for that.

If I have understood Oracle licensing correct then:

on-prem Oracle Linux KVM - you pay for the cores in the VM
Oracle cloud - you pay for the cores in the VM
on-prem all other OS and VM - you pay for the cores in the physical box
all other cloud vendors - you pay for the cores in the physical box
