JDK-8220786 has already been downported to 11u. But jdk8u is still used a lot and increasingly in containerized environments where the file system is ephemeral. If the JVM crashes in such an environment it is impossible to do any post mortem analysis of the problem.
In such situations the ability to dump the hs_err file to stdout/stderr is very useful, because many container environments log the stdout/stderr stream of the container by default.
