Imagine you are a software developer that sells a hospital management system built on Java. You need to prove your software is built on secure technology. So if you are using Java 11, and suppose it is known that there are no more security updates, you cannot claim security.

What I understand from the article - Oracle is not supporting it Oracle 11 after 6 months, but other still will, so nothing to worry about.

Then you're probably earning enough to pay Oracle for continued support. 6mo is just the no-cost timeframe.
