What in your mind, can Microsoft do to Java at this point in time? It's been a decade since that case, and Java has matured and hardened to the point where any form of EEE is going to be an utter waste of time considering the ecosystem of the computing world. This is a response to JetBrains. The company has IntelliJ and with Project Rider, a viable competitor to Visual Studio. With the emphasis on Azure, it's in MS's best interests to add additional language support to VS. Competition is a good thing.
