I wasnt attacking anyone.

Developers are used to the lack of type-safety in JS, and assume that having to code in a type-safe language is something hard. Ive seen this attitude multiple times, it is a known topic.

The issue you are describing is what the author on top mentioned, the culture. It is not just Java, the "enterprise style" coding has infected other languages too. It is the result of how new developers were educated in a time when for example code performance or code readability were only abstract considerations. I fought that style myself multiple times in the past. But thankfully it is going away now.

We are more or less in "chained function call hell" now.
