> new code in startups and Java has one big advantage there: faster recruiting, more reliability in tooling, better quality of business code for the money.

You're delusional if you really think any of this is true. There are, proportionally to "enterprise", extremely few startups using java. For good reasons.

I have no idea what „good reasons“ are you talking about except fancy language as a compensation perk. Java is a good choice for startups, even if it is not the most popular choice (often for bad reasons). I have proven it several times by being able to ship working and scalable solutions quickly and hiring decent team with time to close open vacancy within 1 month.
