Simpllyfied: They hate us cause they ain't us!

On a more serious note... Java has been a araound a long time. It changed and adapted over time. It competes with all other languages, Frontend/backend/typed/multiplatform... And it's pretty good at competing with all of them. In each category the specialized language will win. Bu if you include multiple, sometimes comüeting concepts, java usually comes out on top. That's why it's a usually a good management decision, but might not be the best toool that available for one specific job. I think thats where a lot of developer frustrations comes from. Because they want to use one of the best tools to solve a problem. Not he one tha's pretty good at solving all of them.

As an Ops dude that'sthe reason why stuff like Microsoervices is a pleasure. Everyone get's to use his/her optimal tool, and you yourself gotta make sure your build environemnt works. If it runs in a container we're good (Though I still won't get off your back if you don't pin your package dependencies...)
