NDK usage is pretty high among applications that actually matter.

Everyone that doesn't want to write Java/Kotlin is using the NDK.

Although from Google's point of view the NDK only purpose is for enabling writing native methods, reuse of C and C++ libraries, games and real time audio, from point of view of others, it is how they sneak Cordova, React Native, Flutter, Xamarin,.... into Android.
