Spring generates bytecode, and Lombok is a language extension. You're effectively writing code in another language that's very similar to Java.

The company I work at has a ton of projects stuck on ancient spring versions and Java 8 (or Java 6 in one instance). They still insist on Spring despite being essentially unable to upgrade to a version newer than a decade old.

That's the reality of using the language in production projects.

Same as how you're likely to see more than just Python or Node being used in projects that list them in the tech stack, because there's native dependencies and tooling used.
