WTF? Have you not heard of Swing, Applets, Java Web Start, SWT, AWT or 
JavaFX?  Have you not heard of embedded Java or The Internet of Things?

Java is on far more platforms and devices than ever and Oracle is very 
deliberately pushing Java to be the "technology of choice" for embedded 
platforms and the IoT.  Many of these platforms require GUIs and of course 
need to be updated.

The notion that "java (sic) programs are server-side" is utter nonsense.
