AdoptOpenJDK used to provide OpenJ9 binaries, are those gone now with Adoptium?

I did find some OpenJ9 github site which mentioned they could not provide binaries any more, but I don't really understand why.

Correct, they've dropped OpenJ9 support during the rebranding.

As to the reason why, apparently Oracle revoked their TCK[0] license[1].
