Interestingly enough, this actually turned into a positive over time — also, java was usually fast enough (compared to python) to avoid reaching for native all the time, so it wasn’t as big a pain point, it managed to create an almost completely pure, 99.9% java ecosystem. This means that even very very complex java apps will basically work on every OS, unlike python and to a smaller extent nodejs, where some cryptic dependency is only for windows/linux, etc.
