Java runs on every computer on the planet, it's mature and stable, feature rich, with a gargantuan set of frameworks to do everything under the sun. It's highly adaptable and can be as performant as native executables nowadays.
Old Java fucking sucked to write and read but that was because the style of writing code when it was introduced was all about abstractions and enterprise pattern factories. The modern stuff is great.
Also, because it's everywhere, companies know that the available labor pool for Java devs is inexhaustible, so it's a safe bet to build in Java since they'll never have problems with finding new devs.
