Not true. Here's one.

I've had some java mapping apps linked to my web page for quite some time,
(some of the stuff they're doing under "image maps" are good old fashioned
maps.)
I've never learned Java. Can't learn everything. (My current field of
self-taught study is Active Server Pages.) I want web mapping to be easy
and affordable. Or at least do-able and affordable. It should be. Java
looks like hard work. Grrr. Too many projects, already.
Here's a general question for all: what's the coolest (or most useful)
thing you've done with web mapping? How did you do it? Does it work fast
enough to be a reasonable solution?
