This isn't about them being uninterested in using Java, its about them being uninterested in sharing Java with their competitors or being responsive to other users' needs in the community when it comes to developing Java.
Oracle's use of Java internally -- and developing Java in ways that serve Oracle's own uses -- doesn't seem to be at issue.
OTOH, its based on a single note from an anonymous "former high-ranking Java official", so I'm not sure how much credence I'd give it. It fits with a lot of what people think -- for some good reasons -- about Oracle's attitude toward open source generally, but any "former high-ranking Java official" with a personal axe to grind with Oracle would recognize that opportunity.
