That's not true of all cases. Most importantly, the number of abstractions that are baked into the language are a combination of workarounds (rather than fixing the type system) and whatever the JLS contributor's motivations are. Some of which has been useful, some of which has not. It's overengineered.

I don't know if it's overengineered, so much as it's poorly engineered.
