so what advantage do we get by forbidding vendors to sell to the Java 17 audience?

At least two tangible advantages:

1. Ability for spec implementation components such as Mojarra, MyFaces, Soteria, Jersey to fully take advantage of JDK 21 features

2. Ability for extension components such as OmniFaces, PrimeFaces, DeltaSpike to fully take advantage of JDK 21 features

And another advantage, open to opinion perhaps:

3. Moving the eco-system forward by signalling JDK 21 is the baseline 

Kind regards,
