Tiobe is next to useless, and Java doesn’t beget useless abstraction - it is entirely up to you how you write your code. Also, while it is indeed started out as an OOP language, it is a mixed paradigm one nowadays (just as almost all languages are) — you are entirely free to program it in a much more functional way. It is especially freeing with the new records.

It’s true java the technology is actually pretty good. Java the culture on the other hand… It’s probably less to do with the language itself rather the fact it’s used mostly for boneheaded enterprise crud

Java has as many developers as a smaller country, ranging from the numerous enterprise domain (you mention) to robotics, to HFT. The culture between these are really distinct between them.
