Well, at least it's true that its the most taught programming language at college/university level... or isn't that true, either? (there is still hope)
On the other hand, I might be an extremely unlucky person — just got the chance to tweak/install/maintain the absolute worse of the worse among Java applications out there. It's true there weren't many; however, all were insanely bad, and subsequent releases even made them worse. But there are some niche markets where you have no other option...
Perhaps if I were much luckier and only found the best Java examples out there, I might have a completely different opinion...
Almost nothing you said about Java is true.

It's not about luck or particular app.
