That sounds like ~2005 Java to me, where the ~whole ecosystem was that way, and consequently a lot of Java devs left for Rails.
However, I think in Java's today (since ~2010) there are definitely two (or more camps) of old-school enterprise Java (which is like you say) but also lightweight start-up Java (which is what I'm more familiar with, and matches your "Java can be a great language when used well" comment).
So, anyway, IMO, it's not the entire Java culture anymore, although of course I believe you that that is the one you're currently in.
