Why? Java is a starting point for many programmers, especially because there was a time were every "coding school" was a Java shop. But programmers naturally migrate from that to other waters: some to Scala or Kotlin, others shift gears and go to Python, others choose Golang. Java has a special affinity to COBOL, if only because Java is/was widespread in "enterprise" systems. A common joke was that Java was the successor of COBOL!
