I just checked and I don’t even have the JVM installed on my machine. It seems like Java is dead for consumer applications. Not saying that’s why they aren’t popular but I’m sure it doesn’t help.

IntelliJ IDEs bundle the JVM, so you don't need to install it separately.
Every Java app these days bundles a JVM . It was made easy with jlink like 10 years ago. Only parts of the JVM are included so it’s lightweight.
