No, that’s similar to venv everywhere. The language has bytecode-
sharing objects. Java upstreams just got used not to share those
executable objects between projects, not to version them properly, not
to manage their ABI breaks, and to change things in the local copy
instead of contributing changes to the original project.

That’s non-free software open source to its extreme. The code is
available for a dev to copy and resell at his next work, but everything
is organised (at the human not technical level) so it’s not possible to
reuse the bytecode directly without paying someone to copy and fork the
original code that this bytecode was generated from in the next
project.

The practical effect is technical stagnation and market capture by deep
pocket companies.
