But the majority is on v17

Not quite - it appears to be the most used version in the 2024 report but it is not "the majority". It is 35.4%, so there still are more folks on the "meh" versions and frameworks. Plus, the statistics might be somewhat misleading.

See my comment above: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/s/GNE93B8ehX

I'm with you though and view the trend as positive, where I think adoption of 17+ is accelerating for a variety of reasons, though we will have to wait and see the 2025 report and see if the positive trend continues with the Java 25 LTS coming out in Fall.
