For some purposes a tested validated binary may be appropriate vs mystery meat someone threw through a compiler then shipped without testing.

That's actually why I prefer Azul's openjdk builds over adoptopenjdk or other distros: it's sane but not in contact with the Oracle swamp

Majority of OpenJDK code is tainted with Oracle's paycheck swap.

I don't get that sentiment, at all. Why would you be complaining about Oracle sponsoring JDK development (the resources they put into it are tremendous), which you can benefit from absolutely for free, 100%, no strings attached whatsoever? Can you help me to understand the reasoning here, because it just doesn't make sense to me.

It doesn't mean to me either, I was only making a point for the typical Oracle bashers that still haven't got the memo that OpenJDK is anyway mostly done by Oracle employees, while using the same style from the parent post.
