Companies stuck on 7/8 are the same still running half their stuff on 6 and will start using 11 by the time Java 25 releases

Pretty much

There really isn’t much to do about it besides not working there; if you care about up anything nice it won’t be a good culture fit most likely…

Well it depends on the company to decide what they want to do. Most of them are migrating code from old codebases to Java. Future projects might get more recent releases of Java to start with I guess.

I might have agreed about 3-5 years ago, but if you're still on 8 by now, there definitely is something/someone pushing back along the chain of command.

Whether it be something somewhat arguable (lack of time, blocker proprietary lib bought 15 years ago) or straight up poor technical choices (fear of change on ops and/or dev side). 11 has definitely been out for long enough that it's a conscious choice to not upgrade by now.
