It is a consequence of being an enterprise language.

I imagine you never had the pleasure of doing enterprise distributed computing projects via CORBA, DCOM, SUN-RPC, DCE in C, C++, Visual Basic and Smalltalk.

Guess where those enterprise architects moved on.

EDIT: Should have mentioned Delphi and Objective-C as well.
