Because Java is the systems language of the platform.

I don't want to bother with extra layers or be bound to JetBrains tooling.

Scala isn’t another layer, it compiles to JVM bytecode. Also, what does Scala have to do with JetBrains?

Try to use Scala from Java to see how those bytecodes look like.

It is another layer exactly because you need to translate back those bytecodes into Scala semantics when debugging, when everyone wraps Java libraries into Scala idiomatic wrappers.

I was referring to Kotlin regarding JetBrains.
