Sorry I have to defend my pride here a little bit. When I joined my previous company, the entire company was on Java 8. When I left every app in every team there was up-to-date on the latest LTS release at the time, 17. I assisted many teams in upgrading their Java, Spring, etc, and inspired even more.

I would argue that I'm one of the last people who you could blame for most companies being many Java versions behind...

So what's the issue then? You'd be able to bring other teams to current versions of Java and frameworks, which have all been using virtual threads for the past 3 years.
