Yet I have had trouble with having the "right version of Java runtime" installed in order to run programs, especially on Mac OS X where you sometimes cannot upgrade Java without upgrading the OS. I think there is still an installation/compatibility issue to consider. No free lunch.

Is that more a deficiency of MacOS than of the JRE?

I see it as a reminder that one still needs to worry about deployment because of OS version limitations, lack of upgrades, etc.
