I wouldn't expect that to change any time soon. The Microsoft/Sun lawsuit still stings inside the company and has legal impact decades later (https://www.cnet.com/news/sun-microsoft-settle-java-suit/). It's the reason why, for instance, you can't download Windows 98 or Visual Studio 6 on MSDN/Visual Studio subscriptions. Microsoft is now friendlier to open source than it has been, but I would be shocked if they ever got friendlier with Java. (Disclaimer: I haven't worked at MS in several years)

And I'm sure that the Google/Oracle lawsuit hasn't exactly improved things, either. Not to mention the recent licensing changes. Java is such a can of worms legally that it's surprising that anyone sensible would want to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

.NET Java interop is literally Xamarin on Android. Java interop worked for 15 years+, it is just not commonly known and was a community project.
