The most surprising thing about big tech is that most of them seem to be less useful than ever and yet they are making more money than ever.

For example, it seems like nobody uses Oracle products anymore, yet Oracle stock is at an ATH.

Microsoft Windows is less popular than ever and yet Microsoft stock is at an ATH.

Apple peaked years ago and yet ATH.

Does anyone still use Facebook regularly? FB stock is ATH.

Something doesn't add up.

"Java was designed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems. It was released in May 1995 as a core component of Sun's Java platform."

Oracle did what they always do, buy shit out and then milk people for money. That's all they do with it, and why nobody actually uses Oracle's JDK anymore.

To state the obvious, OpenJDK is also an Oracle product.
