I hear the argument "we don't want to be locked in" from the app dev folks - the same ones that aren't afraid to be locked in to their programming language and/or OS. It's a "logic free" argument.
Ah, but the programming language and the OS they understand. The DB is just this black box that spits out the right answers (and at the same time is the source of their problems.)
