The first three are not the deciding factors. Other platforms are still 10-100x more memory efficient even though they share the same disadvantages as the JVM.

Your fourth point is the primary reason.

The GC in the JVM is set to try to waste as much RAM as possible. If you tune the GC you can get a big improvement and the standard Java Frameworks are bloated and slow as hell.

In my opinion it's a platform that is bad by default and simply isn't worth using but companies don't care and just buy more RAM.
