In some spaces (financial, perhaps military) running the JVM is the only sensible thing to do. It has special status that allows you to skip steps at audit, which allows your customers to install it, it allows you to use libraries and it's really good for cross-platform so long as you don't care about GUIs (and with everyone using web these days, there's no reason to care about GUI).
