Java can just use native libraries, there are plenty of Java projects that do that.

It's not like it's 1999 and there is still some Sun dogma against doing this.

Sure, I don't want to make a big deal about this but I have observed Java projects choosing to not support zstd for portability (or software packaging) reasons.

Well, convenience is also a factor in some cases. Much easier to schlep a "pure-Java" jar around.
