American here. The way I read that argument was Java on the desktop for UIs, not "no Java anywhere." 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.
