This is such a US worldview. As someone from europe, I'm still scared I'll stumble into a job where needing to code Java sneaks up on me (and quitting with leave and finding a new job is a few months endeavor). I wish it wasn't used anymore but that's far from the actual truth.

Java has been a core part of every company I've worked for since finishing school, it's just kept on the backend in the service of APIs and the like. But other than Android UIs, mentioned in a different reply, Java isn't the driver of desktop applications, and probably won't be in the presence of Electron apps and more movement to mobile anyway.
