On the contrary. I believe they're doing nothing because their hands are
tied.
They cannot do much for multithreading at the language level without
creating breaking changes.
Actually they could. For example, introducing qualifiers that add
restrictions would be backwards-compatible. Besides, they are highly
motivated because Java is DOP bonanza and has no solid alternatives. But
they didn't.
