Well I'll break your anecdote. I "flocked" to Corretto for a production JVM-hosted system that ran on EC2 at the time that the Oracle distribution was re-licensed.
My reasons, aside from just licensing concerns? It came with a public long-term support commitment, and was deployed by AWS themselves on internal services before it was released publicly.
I remember the same argument of long-term support from the tech lead when he decided that the software we deliver to our clients would use the Correto JDK.
