Looks like you've developed a religious detachment in this case.

Saving developer's time and money gets you a product sooner, or more
featureful, or cheaper, or some combination of those.  Do you use
only applications coded in assembly language?   There's a spectrum
there, and if you put aside your religious feelings, you'll find
that Java is a great fit for many common requirements, if not for
word processors or web browsers or whatever has disappointed you.
