I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the huge deal of internet services running OpenJDK. Like, AWS itself, Apple’s backends, a huge part of Google’s infrastructure, the whole of Alibaba that is responsible for some crazy amount of transactions, just to mention a few.

Java is a light client programming language that found a small niche in server programming.

It doesn’t really make sense to attribute the initial domain of a language to the whole platform. Especially when Java can have so many faces, and that it’s numero 1 use case is backend applications. Android is a comparatively small market.
