The issue is also what we mean by "essential" functionality.

True, Base is quite limited if you don't have a JRE; but the majority of users do not need or want to use Base.

And the situation is not much different for the "online" (in-app, I mean) help; while it is often good and written with care, most users are now used to searching the web instead of using the internal resources, and Help is quite functional anyway even without a JRE.
