WXP OOBE was cracked within days of release.

And that sure ain't written in Java, nor was the source available.

This goes double for every game and Windows app ever written.

Yes, but its much harder

you have to understand machine code and you need special tools. The skills are beyond the average developers.

Java hacking requires no extra skills - the regular dev tools suffice and you don't even need to understand the byte code.
