My pet speculation is that Java programmers are culturally predisposed to, and are typically proud of creating towering architectural ziggurats with at least 3 layers of unnecessary abstraction.

It's the only language for which I've ever met "architects who didn't code". It wasn't backwards compatibility that made that happen.

Java today is used heavily in the enterprise, which thrives on utilizing marginal talent. Java didn’t look that way in the 90s, and anyways, I bet you’d see drastically different kinds of code comparing enterprise and Android.
