What does this mean for me as an engineer who writes Java every day?
If that’s your preference or you have some other reason (like the fact it’s probably pre-installed in a Linux distribution) there’s nothing wrong with it.
But there’s absolutely no need for a developer to switch off of Oracle unless you absolutely cannot move to Java 9 or newer.
As after 11 there are no features in OracleJDK that are not in OpenJDK I would think moving to the vendor supported (Open)JDK on your linux system is the smart default thing to do.
