That definitely matches my read of the source. Would still be delighted to know there is something else going on, though. :D

Because of its inherent memory safety, Java is attractive for anything in the JVM which is not strictly necessary to be coded in C/C++ for some reason (raw performance, low-level, or OS-specific). With Projects Valhalla ann Panama around the corner, there will be even less hard reasons going forward. Also, C/C++ compilers can be tricky dependencies at times.
