Yeah, except Oracle products already phone home to alert them to start nagging you about a voluntary audit. I once downloaded an old version of JRE to try to configure an old switch and Oracle hasn’t stopped hassling me about it since.
I think it’s more difficult when certain very old web interfaces using Java used to be so strict on the version. There would be warnings like “You need Java 1.4 build 232, not Java 1.5” etc. I don’t think the openjdk builds go back far enough for those (looks like Java 8 from a quick glance).

Well, if you don’t install any of them yourself, you have no reason to let Oracle in.
