But why did you install Java on a home desktop computer for non-technical users?
Devlopers would have their own machines or VMs plus install and control the update cycle, often manually, by downloading the JDKs directly (which have no bloatware).
Applets and other front-facing Java services are also almost never used on the web due to the dominance of Flash, Javascript and other technologies.
In short, there are no common non-development desktop applications or task profiles that require Java.
