This is like saying that null references are a non-issue because it have been there since the 1970s and that "true" $LANGUAGE developers never collide head-first into invalid dereferences. If something is ridiculous and un-ergonomic, it stays ridiculous and un-ergonomic no matter what. Reference comparison by default is ridiculous and un-ergonomic.

Null references exist in every language with the concept of null. It has nothing to do with Java specifically, and Java gives you a lot of information to debug them.
