you can use lombok for generating accessors, helps to reduce a lot of boiler plate code. See https://javabydeveloper.com/project-lombok-tutorial/

I use the lombok plugin with IntelliJ, it eliminates tedious parts of some code.

Some times one needs to create new objects return multiple related items from a function. Or use a collection or array. I think it is unnecessary. Other languages (e.g. go or python) have had this for a while now. I taking a wild guess here LISP probably had it since the 1970s.
