Yes exactly, I think that is what makes if feel like not the safest choice for many companies.

Java EE has not been the preferred choice for many companies long before this issue, which, I guess, is at least part of the reason why Oracle gave up those projects. I think Spring is the leader, but I am really not too familiar with that entire domain.

That's right that _pure_ JEE has not been preferred, but part of my original point is that simple things like servlets are actually technically part of JEE - so if you are using Spring for web, cloud, etc then you are actually using JEE at least a little bit.
