Openjdk also dropped a lot of OS support, it basically just windows, Mac and Linux now. And AIX.

No more FreeBSD, Solaris, open Solaris (illumos smartos etc).

just because Oracle stopped distributing JDK's is not the same as not possible. Anyone can step up to do this.

ok, but what practical implications does it has?

Pretty sure many other runtimes aren't exactly supported on all platforms by single vendor/projects?
