I don’t quite understand these comments.

Oracle seems to be this big, complicated enterprise oriented corporation. But they’re also stewards of Java and had kept the language evolving with impressive stability and compatibility guarantees.

There are definitely firms that I don’t want to rely on for ethical reasons. They accumulated long lists of malpractices and exploitation. One in particular is very popular around here.

What am I missing here?

Are you asking why Oracle is unethical?

Also, is the "One in particular" MS, Goog, or FB? All get as much skepticism/criticism as praise.

I don't necessarily want to bash on a specific company unrelated to the discussion I don't like right now. I just wanted to assert that I personally care when companies do shitty things. And whether people can provide substantiations for the negativity that is spread in some of the comments here.

Oracle saved Java. Sun was letting it rot. I don’t care what anyone else says about Oracle, but the OpenJdk team has done amazing work.
