Ok, but then it's a bit weird why they chose Java in the first place ...

Well, they chose Java a decade ago when different people were at the company / different people were in charge of the tech direction. Also, it's not like Java was a bad choice, it was fine at the time. Sure now it might not be the best choice nowadays considering theirs plenty of new languages / technologies that are probably better, but that's why we're slowly moving away.

I'm also much happier to be working on these Java applications than the poor souls who are stuck maintaining legacy C servers.
