Its only a duplicate if java.lang.foreign does hit all of the requirements needed to remove unsafe

from lwjgl3.

LWJGL 3 supports Java 8 and that won't change before a new major version. Thus, just the release of the new FFI in Java 22 is not enough to replace Unsafe. Further, migrating to the new FFI is a significant undertaking and will probably not happen before value/primitive classes (or whatever they end up being called) are available.

Sure, Unsafe is being removed, but slowly. If this happens before value types are made available, this will be revisited, but that's unlikely. (I would actually be surprised if unsafe removed in the next four years.)
