> The stewardship of Java seems rather lacking

In what way? If anything Java's main developers (employed by Oracle for the most part, working on the completely open source and free OpenJDK) are extremely knowledgeable and are responsible a big jump in how fast the platform evolves. They have added proper algebraic data types to the language, delivered virtual threads and garbage collectors that decouple pause times from heap size. Like if anything, Java is at the best place it has ever been.
