I’m not saying Java is slow or fast, but just because it is used by large companies doesn’t say anything. They have the resources to throw hardware at it.

They also need to serve a lot of people. Java also uses less energy than Go, significantly less than JS, and a whole lot less than Python [1]. Those big companies also need to care about that (not to mention about Java's combination of performance, productivity, serviceability and stability).

Apple uses (used?) WebObjects for the iTunes/App Store. I doubt they are using the latest most finely tuned version Java for it.
