Java vs C++ is very important implementation detail, especially for 'the benefits to the user'. Java is commercial platform which requires a fee to Oracle if used in enterprise, while C++ complied binary does not.

That's a _very_ incorrect statement. You can use any OpenJDK (which is GPLv2 with classpath exception) distribution you want to run Apache Zookeeper without having to have any agreement with Oracle or pay any fee. The Oracle JDK is just Oracle's commercial version of their OpenJDK distribution with Oracle support.
You can use the OpenJDK distro shipped in your Linux distro (RedHat, Debian, etc.), you can use Microsoft's OpenJDK distro[1], you can use the Eclipse OpenJDK distro, you can use Amazon's OpenJDK distro [3] and there are a whole bunch more.

The usual FUD, no it doesn't require any fee, use OpenJDK.
Several distributions to chose from.

Or you can just use OpenJDK, right?

All ZooKeeper installations I've seen so far in production were on Oracle Java JDK for one or another reason.
