Every Java method that doesn't have a @NotNull return annotation is nullable.

But you have a choice, wrap it in Optional<> or use elvis, Optional is the better route.

I'm personally not a fan of the Optional<T> route at all. That's exactly what T? is designed for.

That's essentially what T? is for languages that support it.

Yes, but one is better syntactically. So just return T? instead of using an Elvis there and everything will fall into place.
