If you’re just running an application you only need the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), so it make sense to deliver that as a distinct entity.
If you are developing the you need the complete Java Development Kit, and it’s helpful to have everything you need including the JRE.
So, two usage scenarios, two ways to get the JRE.
