There is no longer any need to download a JDK (which, BTW, also no longer requires any installation) to use Java. Applications are now encouraged to bundle a custom runtime which, thanks to jlink, can be quite small; usually smaller than a Python runtime (~40MB for a runtime suitable to many or most servers).

I know. I’m not sure this was the case in 2014 though when we made the decision to switch to Python.

It wasn't. This was done in 2017-18.
