According the 2018 IBM i Marketplace Survey by HelpSystems, slightly over 68% of IBM i shops also run windows.
We value our IBM i as a reliable and cost-efficient back end server. And we value the investments we have made in COBOL. We're not leaving the IBM i in the foreseeable future. But we're equally committed to and invested in Microsoft platforms (windows, SQL Server, IIS, .NET apps).
So, yeah, we would like Node running *anywhere* to have easy access to our IBM i resources.

I don't know that IBM has had bad issues with Java.
On the whole nobody has suggested otherwise.
The discussion was about IBM facilitating access to IBM i databases and
programs from Windows applications. After years of facilitating that, maybe
IBM found that it didn't pay. Maybe IBM realized that they were
facilitating the deployment of applications that run on Windows, and that
shops were migrating workloads to Windows. Maybe IBM would rather that
people deploy applications on IBM platforms.
