This is a perfect example of people struggling to remain employed. Java 1.8 is good enough for eternity, so they have to break it to keep getting a salary. Just like Google/Apple have to break HTTP/1.1 to force adoption of their "obfuscated by complexity" protocols. What needs to be fixed in Java is the Virtual Thread pinning, and that is probably the last usable feature they will ever be able to add. They are also trying to deprecate AWT, for their non open-source JavaFX. The only way to not remain a slave is to break free: Compile your own Java! Compile your own Linux! Buy redundant hardware that does not break easily and is repairable. Make your own devices if you can. Make your own encryption.
