JVM has many competing implementations[1]. Also it is not used by clueless end users, but by tech workers. They will protest is JVM gets "phone home" "features" and other bloatware privacy-killing crap.
End users of browsers do not have this insight into their tools.
Yes, Oracle's JVM is dominant (but not on Android, which is a huge installed base). So is Chrome in browser land. Still good that Java has many, and FF exists.
