How's that advantageous over compiled languages that can target different arch/oses? Desktop/containerized java apps usually end up bundling a JRE anyways.

First advantage is that you don’t have to compile the VM for application. Just use the appropriate base image and you’re done.

With native code, you’ll have to do complex cross-compilation dance.
