> Earlier last year, it made changes to the Oracle Java SE subscription model, basing it on a per-employee metric many said would increase costs for users.
Would running Java under Corretto 21 change this?

I wasn't involved in the decision but it's my understanding that they did not even try to engage their vendor. They got legal threats from Oracle and put in a different solution on the same day. If you develop for java make sure your install process doesnt have something like "step 1: install java" cuz guess what they're going to download.
The vast majority of people can just use a JDK from any of the other vendors and tell Oracle to pound sand.
Even if you do need paid support, you should pay Azul instead of Oracle, just out of principle.
Oracle ones are exactly as layer8 wrote. Moreso, if you also need windows or macos build; there's no Debian or Redhat then.
By paid support, you mean free steak dinners for middle management?
After dealing with Azul people, give me Oracle. Instead of seeing Azul people shuffling a bunch of charts around and making up shit on the fly to make it sound like their garbage product performs better than OpenJDK (it didn't for us. we benchmarked it. but shame on us, because I guess the steak dinners kept rolling in).
Look at this website, do you think it belongs to a legitimate company? https://www.azul.com/
