Just because its depricated doesn't mean it is unused. People still use Python 2.7.

  It's not deprecated - it was deprecated and now it's completely gone. Like Python 2.7, you can now only get support for JWS if you pay or if you go through a third-party. If you're still using it I recommend you get off fast.

Run it without security patches? That's suicidal for a system like JWS. Or do you think there's some option that is still support but not specifically enterprise and doesn't cost anything? I would take a look at who historically contributes security patches to OpenJDK and think about if you free vendor really has the expertise you think they do to keep up with security attacks.

          > Amazon backports security updates to Amazon Corretto There's a flaw in your logic there... JWS is gone in new versions, so there aren't any security updates for it in the newer versions either. You can't backport a patch which hasn't been written.
