Kotlin also has its own features that differ from the way the JVM or Java has decided to develop them. For example: coroutines vs virtual threads or Kotlin “value” classes and Java value classes. The semantics don’t match and Kotlin stops becoming simply a “better Java”.

That is the curse of guest languages, see C and C++ as well.

That is why I always say keep with the platform, and why despite my endless rants on C, I keep myself up-to-date in regards to it.

Eventually they always diverge.
