If "the" problem is security, it really does solve it. AFAIK, all of the major Java client side security issues use the Java web applet system as the point of entry. Nothing infects embedded JREs/JDKs inside apps like IntelliJ or games like Wakfu.
Lots of apps use old versions of the C/C++ runtime or various other runtimes and these don't expose major security holes. The security holes are things like applets/Flash/ActiveX, that enable users to auto run malicious programs off of web pages.
