It's because the Java plugin is an old legacy Netscape standard NPAPI plugin, as are the original Flash plugin, the QuickTime plugin, the Silverlight plugin, and many more.

Adobe have produced a new type of plugin for Flash, called Pepper Flash, a new standard PPAPI plugin, which does work.
Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle don't seem interested in updating their plugins to PPAPI versions.
