But Oracle is still exclusive on GraalVM. If you've got on the Native Image bandwagon (which is pushed heavily by new frameworks like Quarkus, Micronaut and Helidon), your lock-in to Oracle is stronger, at least as things currently stands. To make it worse, some features are only available in the paid Enterprise Edition. The pricing seems much better now (you no longer pay by core), but it's a far cry from open source. Unfortunately, some of these features are quite critical if you want native code that matches JVM performance.
