Sounds like the older developers have some form of Stockholm Syndrome.
The older devs have zero upsides if they use a different JDK, but plenty of downsides if it introduces any issues. Is it really surprising then that they want to maintain the status quo?
Stockholm Syndrome is not a scientifically sound thing
While a fun fact, it's not referenced here as a scientific thing, just to point out that the engineers' attachment to Oracle Java is not rational.
I understand. I'm just saying that Stockholm Syndrome is very likely not a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome
