One of the arguments is that existing $ in strings would have to be escaped. Every other language supported $ in strings before interpolation appeared. Not Java specific.

Every other language is susceptible to SQL injection style attacks. Not Java specific.

Few other languages are as committed to backwards compatibility as Java though.
