Many smart cards use an extremely minimal version of java, so I imagine that java applets were able to interact with them more easily.

I'm not saying that writing for Javacards is easy, but that's not the problem here. There is plenty of software written already

It's just didn't catch on, there's no thriving community around it. You have the software, you have the hardware (search for JCOP21 or JCOP3 on Aliexpress), but no users.
