I think we have Apple to thank for that. JavaFX was compelling but alas all rich platforms were sufficiently moot when they killed Flash on mobile and locked iOS down.

You could have JavaFX apps on iOS - but you had to deal with the security model not allowing a JIT to run. The only JIT on iOS is the javascript engine (which runs out-of-process).
