Native images are just one feature though. Many people would benefit from the Graal JIT even if they don't care about anything else.

My understanding is GraalVM's JIT keeps some optimizations for the enterprise edition, and is otherwise comparable to Hotspot, with some niche exceptions. I'm not sure "many" would benefit without paying.
It's been entirely free since mid-2023. Even if you care rather about native images, you probably want to use the proprietary distribution anyway.
