There was a period when development and system adminstrators were really concerned about vendor lock in and would choose on the basis of the ease of moving to a different platform, Java and J2EE was clearly based on this mindset. I have always found it odd people have been willing to adopt AWS with no apparent easy route off given its price.

Still is, nowadays the standard is Jakarta EE 11, alongside Microprofile, which Spring also uses parts of.
