Right on the spot, yet as Silicon Valley darling they get a free pass instead of being blamed like Microsoft was.

I still hope Oracle manages to force them to play by rules.

Other JVM vendors like IBM, Atego, Azul, MicroEJ,.... are able to provide their own extensions, while supporting Java properly and not forking the whole language + standard libraries.

Some of them do sell JVMs for embedded devices with soft and real-time constraints much higher than Android, so the whole story about a Java fork being a requirement for Android is such Google marketing for their actions.
