From like 2000 to 2010 or even 2015 either java or .NET was the default choice for big enterprise companies. Nobody ever got fired for picking Microsoft or Java (I would add), as they say. A lot of these Apache projects have been donated from work at big enterprises so it comes out of that background from enterprise I imagine.

Even now, what options are a huge step up from Java/.NET for your standard tech business backend/webbapp? They integrate well with so many other languages, and both have great cross-platform stories...
Outside of the SV bubble actually none. When you look from a conservative angle (static typing, developer availability, productivity, tool support, library support, performance, etc) it goes quickly down to Java and .NET. The dynamic interpretation of Python and JavaScript are their core deal breakers.
