I don't see why people view the JVM as "heavy". It's no different from the JavaScript/C#/Python runtime.
The only popular languages that don't need a runtime installed are c/c++ and golang.

It may not be a fair rap, but you can see where it comes from if you imagine that lots of people had their introduction to webapps in the form of LAMP shared hosting stacks.
