I must admit I'm a bit confused about these implementation-specific

doesn't make much sense to me.
The JDK-specific MBeans are in the com.sun.management package, exported
by the jdk.management module. The sun.management.* classes have always
been JDK-internal implementation classes and were never mean to be used
directly by code outside of the JDK. Directly referencing these classes
would have been a warning at compile prior with JDK 8 and older. It
changed an error at compile time in JDK 9.
