I've been working on enterprisey Java software for nearly two decades, and I've never come across anything that's full of "factory non sense" in the wild. Sure, I'm just one person, but I've worked on more projects than I can count. With good teams and bad teams alike.

I'm sure there are shitty programmers in every language community, who will write things using concepts they understand only marginally, and I'm sure it has lead to a couple of FactoryFactoryFactories here and there. But the ecosystem is not "full" of this at all.

Java isn't the same as it was 20 years ago. It grew up.
