The reason it’s System.out is because that’s one of the output channels. There are other output channels like System.err

Your suggestions are basically all just meme features from nobody languages. Java is the king for a reason.

Of all the reasons Java is popular, ergonomics is absolutely not one of them.

Kotlin is hardly a nobody language (being the default language for Android development these days). That being said, a lot of these are no-gos from a backwards compatibility perspective, and if you want them, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just use Kotlin.
