> How many Android apps out there are not written in Java?

A fair few games are developed in C++ and run through the Android native interface. Unity games, often written in C#, run on Unity's native runtime which has been ported to Android.

Intel Bridge Technology is, presumably, a way to get ARM binaries running on x86 by AOT compiling them. It is not necessary for Java or Kotlin apps or native x86 apps, so those will run without IBT.

Yes. All apps in Android are spawned from the Zygote, but once started an app is free to call as much native code as it likes.

Also apps that use React Native, as the RN runtime is written in C++ and uses the NDK on Android.
