Not that I really know much about Java stuff, but it looks like maybe Amazon/OpenJDK are providing longer support lifetimes? [1]

And here's an official Oracle doc regarding Java support where they show Java 11 (LTS) being supported until either late 2023 or late 2026 depending on your support level. I'm not sure they provide free support anymore, or maybe that's limited and what you're referring to?

Yes, free support is only three years.

Java has several commercial and free implementations, so every Java vendor is free to choose their own timelines, I was only talking about the free layer of OpenJDK/Oracle, as that is what many around here understand as Java.
