Because regardless of what you use your Java program on, it will always run. On Linux, Windows, Unix, etc. it will always work.

Java use JVM to turn bytecode into machine code. JVM knows how to do this so you don't have to. So if you have JVM in your machine you can run Java regardless of the infrastructure. https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/45578/java-virtual-machine
