Because the problem makers^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hconsultants can't have anyone taking their money away from them once it's discovered how useless they are
I'd say Java, it's a well thought out system:
1. Sun creates ugly, complicated, overengineered, obnoxious language and API and offers lots of certifications and services
2. With the money they make, Sun pays for advertising on shitty PC magazines, the dumbest the target audience the better.
3. Managers, who are stupid, read "Java is what you should use, it's the industry standard, and it's full of best practices, and of course it's object oriented so it's better!" in these magazines, and obey it because an advertisement in a stupid "how do I opened MSIE" magazine must be good advice.
4. Managers start their Java projects and hire Java programmers.
5. Projects go on foreeeeeeeever.
6. PROFIT
Only flaw is, the language sucks so much I don't want to profit from it even if I could. I'd end up hating my job, and I love it so far and plan on working on this for many years.
Apparently there are programmers who like, nay, love Java.
I simply cannot understand that. What the fuckity fuck?

File.open("file.txt") do |file|
file.read()
end
Ahh, I love Ruby, even the filenames are shorter.

I've never spoken to a single person who doesn't hate Java. Perhaps they spend all their time engaging in Best Practices (TM) and don't have time for The Internets?

Yes, they (zomg) exist. They're are the kinds of people that can't differentiate a directory from a database, what purpose something is and isn't useful for, pay no attention to the quality of work, nor are they capable of rational independant thought. Which means they'll simply suck down anything a buzzword generating consultant sells.

PHP: file_get_contents('a.pl');
Python: for a in open('a.c', 'r'):

Er, replace a.pl and a.c with the file name. I was just trying the minimum code to do that in every language I know.
The question is best paid programmers. This implies either the programmer who gets the most, or the best average salary.
Hardly any of you have actually tried to answer the question instead you talk about the merits of java. Totally off base.

Reroll as a buzz word generating consultant.
