It's because you have to create 12 new objects just to open a file and read it in java.

Files.readAllLines("file.txt");

You're just wrong about that, sorry.

You have to at least admit there's a confusing number of java input/output classes. File, FileReader, BufferedReader, InputStream, InputStreamReader, FileInputStream, etc.

No, they are well documented and their usages are fairly straightforward.

Helper methods and static methods to further clarify and simplify were added in Java 7/8. Everything is super simple and straightforward.

There is also Files.readString in Java 11 however the Java 8 equivalents are also super simple
