He has said before that he finds Scala unreadable. He also doesn't want

My exact point of view is that language innovation should happen in a new
language instead of overloading a mature language to death. I continuously
see Java 5/6 under-used or misused, so lambdas won't change most of the
scenarios (or eventually make things worse). I've talked about this a lot
in the past and I won't repeat the same stuff.
In any case, and back to topic, given that the decision to put lambdas in
Java 8 has been taken, it would be absurd to have a half-baked support - I
mean, lambdas and not Option, or similar stuff, or limited support in
collections.
