Odd take, maybe the Java story made sense in say 2012 where everything would default to Java and you were building everything from a different abstraction. If you look at the past 15 years, the landscape has split into lower abstractions of C++ (Rust) for performance critical systems and some of the higher level abstractions split even to a higher level between Python, Go and others. Java is mostly missing in the AI/ML tidal wave. There is no neat - everyone moving to a higher abstraction - story.
