I stand half corrected. The java launcher only accepts -Xbootclasspath
while the javac launcher will accept both (though I believe they have

In javac, -bootclasspath and -Xbootclasspath are aliases, so they are
exactly equivalent.
Note that there is a separate confusion for some users of javac:
-J-Xbootclasspath sets the bootclasspath for the JVM running javac
-Xbootclasspath sets the platform classes against which the users
code will be compiled.
