So you want to talk about mobiles?

Windows Phone, JavaScript, .NET (VB and C#) and C++.

iOS, JavaScript, Objective-C, C++ and Swift, C only due to BSD stuff.

Android, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, C++, C only due to Linux kernel. Its sucessor. Project Treble drivers use Java and C++. Fuchsia is written in a mixture of Rust, Dart, and C++.

ChromeOS, JavaScript, C++, Rust, C only due to Linux kernel

An irrelevance given their complete lack of market presence.

The rest all have significant underlying C components you've identified. All I'm saying is that's a hardly a 'niche holdout' when it appears to be at the heart of the vast majority of shipping devices.

It is, given the amount of usage across the OS stack, which decreases with every OS release.

By the way on iOS, drivers are written in C++.
