There has been about a 7 year window of opportunity for Oracle to really push JavaFX as cross platform UI, but they insisted on making it hard to legally use even for desperate Java Swing developer. Almost every Java Swing shop I know is either still on Swing, switched to .NET or switched to web shit. Why, why, why did they not make JavaFX on Android a first class citizen?

You have to ask Google why, not Oracle. Oracle has made JavaFX open source and available to everyone that wishes to work on it. https://openjfx.io/ https://openjfx.io/ https://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/ https://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/ https://gluonhq.com/products/mobile/javafxports/ https://gluonhq.com/products/mobile/javafxports/ Naturally Google prefers to push Android J++.
