It's a shame as it you can make much more powerful apps with a native API.

On modern Android Java is native both ways.

It is the main userspace programming APIs are written in. Followed by the increased use of Kotlin.

In both cases, the final execution tier does produce a pure binary, when the device is idle, after getting the PGO data from the JIT tier.

The NDK C and C++ APIs are based on ISO C, ISO C++, OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenSL (now replaced by AAudio), and Android specific native APIs.

Plenty of choice, just not Linux specific APIs.
