Cannot use own java version in ES 8

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello, I have ES version 8.1.2 and have env var for ES_JAVA_HOME

But anyway, when I start ES with systemctl start elasticsearch.service it uses bundled jdk.

I found a way how to start it with my own, using override.conf file:
Environment=ES_JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/javac | sed "s:/bin/javac::")" >> /etc/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service.d/override.conf
With these settings, it successfully starts with my own JDK.

Can you explain is this an issue?
