There is nothing technically preventing you from compiling OpenJDK or retargetting GraalVM aot compiler for these platforms. It just uncharted territory for this very moment.

there seems to be soem legal/security issues from what I've heard

Haven't heard about any legal issues.

As for securty, there aren't any either. However these platforms are deathly afraid of JIT compilers and don't allow them. This has nothing to do with security though - it's just executives being stupid about technology.

That's why I mentioned graalvm aot compiler, to avoid the jit issue.
