Concurrency isn't bad, and package management (while maven is absolutely terrible to work generally), the dependency chains aren't exceptionally bad. Getting it installed is easier than python on platforms it's not already there on, not because it's more portable, but because the installers do more for you. Portability is hard, they haven't done it well but they've paved the default use case pretty well (although that works against you when you get to harder cases)

But the rest is pretty close.

The worst is the scaffolding, it's literally superstition for years to gain the understanding as to why you're doing it. I took two years of Java in high school before getting a degree - it was 4 years and halfway through a degree before I understood why I was making a class with a method main(string[] args). It works like that because your entry class calls the main method with a list of string arguments... I didn't understand at all, because even though it's simple it's a special case, and I'd never seen anyone name the string array anything different, so I just copied and pasted it, never understanding it because I'd been told "you just have to have that" for do long

Builds are arcane too - there's still companies that only use netbeans in their build pipeline, Android still requires a specific an old Java version in conjunction with the IDE or a gradle build, at best a project uses maven (the package manager), which is xml based and full of arcane details that are best treated as a magic incantation to be copied exactly from elsewhere
