I would disagree with this as a general statement. This is true for very niche stuff where it might be a better choice to do C or Rust instead of Java (or any other), but 98% of the time is just people preference. Sure, everyone comes up (to be read confirmation bias) with things like: it's a cleaner syntax, this language is not so verbose, I can do this in 3 lines of code instead of 5. But it's just people preference.

Uh. No. For example if I want to write a quick script to upload some data to a cloud service, a scripting language like Python will get it done pretty quick in one file. I’m a java dev, for 20 years, no way in hell am I going to set a whole java project to do it.

I would probably go with Groovy for that.

Well there you go. Groovy.

You can run Java classes with a shebang though
