I think it would be very unreasonable if a player's "updated" JRE would refuse to run a non-updated application that perfectly worked the day before, on the simple basis of not the developer not paying Oracle. Consider a user on windows with Oracle JRE, using some FOSS Java software. Suddenly he can't run his Java application, because the FOSS developer does not pay Oracle, and the FOSS developer gets flooded with hate mail.

Who is suggesting that will happen?

I suspect you aren't quite sure about what "support" means here. It doesn't mean your app suddenly stops working one day. For most apps it'll make no difference in fact.
