Java (and dotnet, the two big "VM" languages) is somewhat of a strange example for that; JVM bytecode is surprisingly stable and reverse engineering is reasonably easy unless the code was purposely obfuscated - a bad sign on any language anyways.
What business owners actually don't like at all is how long is takes traditional software development to actually solve problems - which then don't really fit the business after wasting a few years of ressources... and the dumping and running away is worse in Java and other compiled software. With Python you can at least read the source in production if the team ran away...
