MIPS died for Android after Imagination Technologies acquired it in 2013. There is nothing for Google to do when there is no new SOC or new phones. As for x86, it is still widely used thanks to Chromebooks. Unless you use NDK there is nothing on your end to do for new targets.

MIPS died for android well before that - they only had microcontroller-level cores in development, which were rather unsuited to the performance requirements of android.
