More code means a more expensive, more time-consuming project. Managers
see that as a bad thing. JDBC has many flaws, but it has enabled us to
complete projects in a small fraction of the time that we would have
needed if we had had to write our own portable database abstraction
layer, using the low-level interface to each database.
Moreover, the absence of a *standard* database abstraction layer makes
it impossible for people to write standard libraries that perform
database access.

One of our applications contains millions of lines of code and uses
thousands of database tables.
