    In reality it very rarely happens that native binaries are needed for Java. I’m not even sure what libraries might use them nowadays - I would guess mostly commercial closed source.

    I don’t think it’s “infinitely worse”, but it does mean you require builds for whatever platform you are on or you need to manually build it from source as a separate project.

      JVM, ELF, Mach-O,… binaries are infinitely worse when the attack vector is “compromised dev machine”.

      I’m not sure how anyone would even try to argue against that.
