The one thing that makes me think this might be legitimate is the focus on release schedules. Since Apple has shipped Java as a system- level framework, their policy has been to include one Java version with the x.0 release of OS X -- ideally the most current Java, but they failed to do so with Snow Leopard -- and then add any new Java version as a system update during that OS' lifetime. This can make it difficult for developers who have to target a certain version, like keeping you on Tiger (OS X 10.4) if you need to run against a Java 1.4 VM for some reason.
Granted, if you really need to work with arbitrary Java versions, or many of them at once, I suppose you would probably need to be on LInux or Windows, at least in Parallels or VMWare.
