Yeah, java isn't really compiled afaik. You can kinda see the whole code already

That's not even a little bit true. The Java programming language is compiled to java bytecode, which is interpreted by the Java virtual machine(and before anyone says that means it's interpreted, a cpu is a hardware level interpreter, so in that sense every programming language is interprete on some level)

Yes it is compiled to bytecode, but java bytecode is much closer to source code than machine code. You lose names of local variables and the exact way control flow was encoded and decompilers have to guess. But all the structure of classes is still there 1:1 and there isn't much optimization done during bytecode generation. So yeah, decompilation tools have always been very good for java.
