There are products like Android Studio that don't support
OpenJDK and in such scenario you end up installing both Java but using
only one. That leads to maintenance overhead.

Indeed, JetBrains IntelliJ doesn't support OpenJDK either, so with LibreOffice installed one ends-up with two versions of Java required, and having to go through the hassle of configuring alternatives. It would be nice if there was some mechanism to use Oracle's JDK to satisfy package dependencies if one has chosen to install it so that OpenJDK could be removed.

Oracle's JDK (the full JDK - not just the JRE) weighs in at just shy of 300Mb.
