In a way it does. Java just likes to push most features to methods on special objects, instead of exposing them as native functionality (to avoid backwards incompatible changes).

So it would look something like MemorySegment.allocateNatice(100, someScope). This new API has a runtime ownership model, so by default only a single thread can access this memory address, and it can be freed at will.
