Didn't Oracle drop support for Java 8 like six years ago? I'm sure there are plenty of companies still running it, but even Apple (a relatively conservative company in this regard) updated to Java 11 when I was there in ~2019.
this isn't really the case. a lot of legacy code may still be running the version it was developed against, but java 17+ has a sizable share of the ecosystem now that all of the popular libraries require it. spring for example bumped their baseline to jdk 17 in 2022.
It used to but Oracle‘s licensing and probably more important security guidelines from the very top linking CVE scores to mandatory updates got things moving on the last years.
