Why not? The JVM is faster because the underlying language design was simply better all the way back in the 90s, but both are using low-level code (C++) to set up a rendering system that their virtual machines (JVM/V8) then render to, rather than directly accessing the GUI system.
The JS ecosystem has left-pad and is stuck with endless transpilation bullshit to make sure everything is compatible with IE8, the Java ecosystem has log4j and is stuck on Java 8 because a critical library someone wrote in 2009 never got updated to support Java 9. Both are kind of shit, but so is every other programming ecosystem.
