Programmers are human beings - even though we work with logic-oriented problems. We still have the natural human behavior of preferring something familiar over something unfamiliar - even if the unfamiliar environment is superior. Java is familiar because it is the primary language taught in universities and it is one of the most commonly used languages in enterprise software.
>From a pure functionality standpoint, there is no reason to have Java on Google App Engine. App Engine is scalable from a system architecture standpoint. Google could just as easily have old-school BASIC as an App Engine language. Programmers have a familiarity with Java, though, so that's why the interest in Java as an App Engine language.
