Pinning the JVM version this way means that a compatible JVM will be auto-provisioned even on machines where the main java installation is too old (which is still quite a few devices, unfortunately). One unfortunate side effect of this is that on a machine with a newer (compatible) JVM -- say, java 23 -- gradle will be ran with the older java 21 instead. Note that this won't change first-build times as the use of toolchains within project-level gradle would cause a java 21 installation to be located/downloaded anyways.
