Also doesn't change the fact that even with Android 8.1, I as Java developer cannot take a random jar from Maven Central and be certain it won't crash and burn on Android, regardless of the version.
But I don't see how you can tolerate that contradiction. Either you agree with Oracle that the Java APIs were copyrighted and Google should not have been allowed to reconstruct them. Or you worry about fragmentation coming from an incompatible Java implementation. Doing both is nonsensical.
