It's a very one-dimensional view. My problems with Java are startup time and memory consumption (and NPEs). If that's not your problem - fine. But writing web apps in the Java ecosystem has been terrible for many of the most important years (let's say 2005 to 2015) and that's where all the "young people" forsake it for... PHP, Rails, node.js. (You can already guess that I'm not even counting myself as part of the younger generation here. I'd used used Java and the JVM intermittently between 2000 and 2020 but it has never been my favourite stack).
