Is there a general consensus to why Embedded Java and other Java techs like Java Card never took off?

JavaCard _did_ take off. More likely than not the SIM card in your phone runs it, and so does your EMV/NFC bank card (if you have one).

There's a tiny computer inside your iPhone running Java. It really is everywhere.
