I don't feel like this article does a good job making its case. Java won't live or die with Oracle. Along with the language spec and non-Oracle implementations being available, there are other (arguably more influential) companies still putting huge amounts of money behind Java tech; e.g., Google and IBM.
The articles are simplified for a general audience. I think Motherboard tries hard to keep things digestible so as to let people dip their toes into the deep, cold pool of nerdom.
Every tenth article posted is about the death of something-or-other. Its a clickbait way of getting attention by poking sticks at a big name and claiming "the emperor has no cloths" or whatnot.
