I never really understood this, especially in the age of small docker containers? You just yeet your jar into the container and deploy. Ok, so rust and go don't need a jvm. Why does it matter? Disk space is dirt cheap. It's not like statically linked binaries are small by any measure anyway.

Because I run binaries.
Like docker, for instance. If I had to write "java -jar docker.jar -cp ..." and fuck around for a week trying to figure out where the env vars, JVM flags, and arguments to the actual program go, I would not use docker. Let alone piping input through grep, less and tail.
