It might be Oracle's license conditions. In the corporate environment,
using the Oracle JRE requires a commercial license. Installing the JRE
of OpenJDK is possible and JOSM runs with it, but counter-intuitive in
multiple steps.

I myself have written instructions for my collegues how to install the
OpenJDK.

Given that Windows is in particular popular amongst companies and users
with limited tech competence, that new threshold might have scared off
users.
