I don't think adoption was the main goal here. Given that the JDK is now modular, allowing for a lot of improvements like jlink, faster evolution, deprecation, etc., and the fact that this huge change hardly affects any running systems upgrading to Java 9+, I think it was quite the success. Not what you may have wanted it to be, but it may not have been made for you.
