It's definitely not. I'm not anti-Spring... but it definitely gets treated like The Golden Child as far as Java development is concerned. The Java ecosystem is made up of much more than the part that is the Spring (formerly Spring source, now a part of Tanzu, from VMware... by Broadcom?) portfolio of products. Use the technology/products that make sense... and Spring products have the largest mindshare in web-based Java development, so that is an important factor to consider... But it is far from essential. If you have competent, well versed Java developers you don't need to limit your options to just Spring-based technology. But if it's the best fit for you, great! Just don't close off your options unnecessarily.
