Why would you use a static nested class? If it can basically be treated and
instantiated just like a top-level class, what's the point?

The nested class doesn't have to be public; maybe only the enclosing class
instantiates instances of it.
The construct might be useful to instantiate a class to implement an
interface, ala Map.entrySet() .
