* better GCs (plural)
Probably the best thing about the JVM that, AFAIK, no other platform does is it gives you an option for which GC you use. Not only is that an option, but you are spoiled with options. ZGC, G1GC, Shenandoah, The parallel collector, the serial collector. Pick the right one for the job!
But beyond that, they are infinitely tuneable (Not that you should usually). Again, not something that almost any other platform offers.
