He possibly meant Java interfaces as opposed to existing Ada 95 abstract
types. Ada 95 abstract type did everything Java interface do and more.
Interface as a separate type is indeed worthless. Interface as properties
of a type, a package, a subroutine is more than useful. It is impossible to
program anything without the concept of the interface.
If Ada were a better language you would be able to strip the implementation
from any type:
Interface = Type - Implementation
