The JVM is nowhere near as flexible as the CLR.

The JVM probably lags behind in some aspects. But it's ecosystem is way larger and not biased towards Windows.

In what way?

The CLR can be used to run C++ code compiled with the C++/CLI (/clr:pure) setting of MSVC. Java apps can even run on the CLR because of IKVM (https://www.nuget.org/packages/IKVM).

Good luck at using pointers in Java.
