launch4j doesn't actually remove the need for Java?

It turns out that Launch4J doesn't actually remove the need for Java, as demonstrated by a recent Discord conversation:

Is there any EXE generator which will generate a complete application with no Java dependencies?

Before you mention Microsoft JET, I already contacted Turey and he said his license is no longer valid.

You need to bundle a JRE with it. Here's the second result I got from my google search: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7582064/6407176

launch4j should show a dialog which contains a link to the java download page if Java isn't found on the system. Bundling a JRE is possible but that would increase the download size for only a tiny usability benefit.

I would agree with asarium on that... Another issue would be the legality of bundling the jre as well as clashing with pre-installed versions.
