Java sometimes has a culture of "the proper way to do this is to take all these little pieces and put them together in a specific way" which probably makes sense for an object oriented purist but is a bit of a drag day to day.

The scanner class is one such thing, but you also have things like wrapping a Reader in a BufferedReader to add buffering, and building a Pattern object to build a Matcher object which has a few different methods you can call to actually do anything useful

It is very OO, but it's also a bit annoying, and more modern java libs tend to give you a more comfortable API. Sadly modern java also tends to come with springboot and people who can't do anything, unless they use springboot
