It's not easier to do getters or setters but especially in python there's a big culture of just not having getters or setters and accessing object variables directly. Which makes code bases smaller.

Same with the types (although most languages for instance doesn't consider None a valid value for an int type) Javascript has sooo many dynamic options, but I don't see people checking much.

I think it boils down to, java has a lot of ceremony, which is designed to improve stability. I think this makes code bases more complex, and gives it the reputation it has.

I'm not a java programmer, but I like it more because python and js projects are often very messy

Yeah, that's my experience too. I think once projects get to a certain size, you really reap the benefits of strong opinions, regardless if what those opinions are.
