What Oracle is saying is that OpenJDK would be supported for at least 6 months period after a release. Enterprises are more conservative and would want longer support so would get paid support from Oracle for longer periods.
Like I said OracleJDK and OpenJDK are functionally interchangeable.
But let's say you hate Oracle and do not want to use their JDK, no problem, you have other providers of production-ready OpenJDK,
For example, Amazon Corretto comes with long-term support that will include performance enhancements and security fixes. Amazon runs Corretto internally on thousands of production services.
You have other providers like AdoptOpenJDK.
Also, I agree with you that Java was is big on Android but if we look back, Java(1995) was around way before Android came (2008), Java was a top language way before Android came.
Java is used in many other areas apart from Android.
Java is currently used heavily in Big data, Artificial intelligence, IOT, backend development and critical systems.
I still say Oracle has work to do though, and they are working, like you said, MS and Apple are doing quite well.
I have looked at Swift and it's a lovely language.
