There are a lot of Java devs out there. At least 2 of the FAANGs are big on Java. Any big consultancy (Accenture, Cap Gemini, Fujitsu, Deloitte), is going to ship mostly Java too.
I’m not a fan personally, but its easy to find devs in it, so its popular in firms where language choice is a commodity/utility
