The hassle involved with needing multiple versions of Java on one system also impacts its viability on the desktop. Not a problem if you run your Java-based services in containers that can use their own JRE, but a huge annoyance for kids and budding hobbyists who try to run Spigot and god knows what else on the same computer.

There is not even a JRE anymore, current best practice is to create a platform-specific lean package with jpackage that will only contain the modules that is actually used (decreasing binary size as well startup time). So the current direction is very much away from the old ways.
