Maybe you are thinking about the size of libsunec or non-technical issues that 
meant it wasn't included by some distributions? There weren't an issue with 
deciding which providers to include to java.base. I think the motivation for 
having the SunEC provider in java.base now is probably TLS so there are more 
secure cipher suites available for those that create a small run-image with 
jlink and don't include all security providers.
