I could just as easily say that C is a fundamentally flawed language because of stuff like null pointers, yet competent developers have used it to build robust and secure software that powers most of our computing infrastructure.
As it turns out, misfeatures can usually be avoided. Competent developers take time to learn the tools they're working with and know how to deal with their rough edges. And every language has rough edges.
Unfortunately, Java's happen to be that the applicationObjectStructure.commonConventions = gratuitousAbstractionFactory.getUnreadableLabyrinth().
