It COULD drive more traffic. But apparently it doesn't. I'm guessing Facebook, like Google, tends to print handy Slashdot-like summaries of news, but unlike our Awesome Community here, most Facebook readers do not in fact RTFA. Go Figure

Now, I'm absolutely positive that Amazon engages in what most will consider anti0competitive behavior.

Justice Neil Gorsuch told Google's lawyer that Apple and other companies have "come up with phones that work just fine without engaging in this kind of copying."

It seems to me that Apple has not chosen to use Java, and thus has not been sued by Oracle.

I think it's ironic that this piece of dribble is published by the same newspaper that called Robert Goddard a crackpot who didn't understand High School Physics because everyone knows I rocket can't fly in a vacuum-- since there's nothing for the thrust to push against.
