If that would be the case, the companies that sell commercial JDKs would be out of business, and yet here they are, selling Java tooling since around 2000.
Maybe you are referring to the "real world" where developers don't pay for their tools.
As for embedding 150MB of JRE / JDK, it is hardly any different than embedding the Go's runtime into every static compiled executable.
Practically speaking this is a non-issue, since its not 1996 anymore. You install the JRE / JDK into your VM or container image. And you basically never think about it until you need to do an upgrade...
