I agree for most part but what is important is productivity. Java ecosystem is just toxic waste full of abandoned projects, over engineering everything, crashing build because everyone use arbitrary versioning schemes, ring-fences code with licenses/patents and developers with C++ mindset. Node.js is maybe build on top hack on top of hack. With some ugly code, lack of any abstraction, lack of sensible std library, debugging capabilities, minimal editors support and finally with package manager that cannot be trusted. But I can build CRUD API working with any database under 1h in node.js. Where In Java I need to start with learning all maven quirks, write pointless JSON mappers and learn stupid annotations that every library introduce.
