Battery life is a reason. I've had clients come to me complaining their solution from another vendor didn't last very long. Turns out it was running Java on an embedded device.
Why would java have an impact on battery performance ? Pretty much all credit cards run java for their encryption algorithms, and they need pretty much no power to run.
There are orders of magnitude in what is considered low current. I've worked on a product that was guaranteed 2 years of lifetime for 3 AA batteries.
The JVM isn't free. It was a simple data collection device that interfaces with a sensor which ideally doesn't need maintenance as long as possible. Something light written in C is more than enough.
