Even if this is true, most languages don’t use dynamic code loading as often as Java.

In what sense? In many popular languages (Perl/Python/Ruby/...) all code loading is dynamic. Java does have more of a built in RMI framework than most languages, but it's rarely used in modern code.

Pick a few random executables from your OS, check how many .dll or .so libraries do they dynamically link to.

For Python, JavaScript, Ruby, etc it's not even a question.
