There's a difference between the JIT being able to emit better native code than an unguided compiler, and the language being as performant as another language. Java is never going to be as fast as C or C++, and that's something you can blame its design for.

They traded speed for safety, that's why, not something right or wrong that you should "blame" anything for IMO.
