7 months ago You likely have $ANDROID_HOME/tools in your path which are the java 8 tools and that's where the java 8 requirements come from.
You can use which avdmanager to confirm which avdmanager you're hitting/using. The which command should be available for mac/linux, not sure about windows. But it's a command to simply print the path to the executable.
The SDK Manager has a cmdline-tools package, which contains newer versions of these tools when installed, it will be located in $ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/<cmdline-tools_version>/bin. You'll want to add this path to your PATH environment variable. These tools supports java 11+. I'm currently using version 9, but the latest probably works too.
You'll also want to remove $ANDROID_HOME/tools if it's present. from your PATH variable if it's present.
While you're in the SDK manager, you can also uninstall Android SDK Tools (Obsolete) which is the $ANDROID_HOME/tools stuff.
You may also want to set other PATHs too..., see the Android Setup Guide (dev docs but it's more relevant than the current docs, atm)
Closing as not a bug.
I build to cordova android@12 with OpenJDK 11 and gradle 8.3. I'm using Android SDK Tools 33.0.2. Android Studio list a virtual device targetting API 33.
The .apk builds ok and runs on Windows Subsystem for Android, so I think its fine, but I can't run in with 'cordova run' (which I need for debugging) -- I get the same error with 'cordova run' that I get with 'cordova requirements'

All results on google talk about downgrading to Java 8, but that can't be the way forward.
