There are almost 3 billion Android devices. I think you underestimate the scope of the primary language on one of the world's most prolific OS's.

That article is from 2019 and only focuses on languages. At that time most of the Android jobs would be hopelessly intertwined with the Java jobs.

It's also important to not be US centric. In many parts of the world Android is the dominant OS.
