Because 99% of Node projects are web related, and if something's vulnerable on the web it won't take long to be abused
Also a great disadvantage with JavaScript being the official scripting language of the web so it needs to work in every browser, but not every browser will implement it the same way. Syntax between the browser and servers also gets conflated.
I've done frontend development in Java and it sucks major ass. The "advantage" of using one language for the whole project really ended up as a net negative. For any server-side project I'm totally fine using Java because for all it's verbosity it's secure, performant, and examples from 10 years ago aren't useless.
Fron-end development with Java? You mean Java applets or something?
Google Web Toolkit was a thing at some point in time. ;y current company still maintains some apps which are written in it.
