The fact that you didn’t have to type them doesn’t make them free. Software spends most of its lifetime in maintenance. Those getters and setters have to be documented, adjusted, unit tested, code reviewed, deleted and renamed, and scrolled past.
Typing is easy. It’s all that other stuff that I avoid by using better languages / better conventions.
That's why experienced Java devs generally try not to put any logic code in POJOs.
So you never generally even open those files unless you're expending the 5 seconds it takes to add a new prop. But as I said I could make each property use one line of code if I chose too...something like "String x;" just like all other languages.
