That is already the case. When you look at the NDK, you can only have access to game related API (audio, graphics and sensors) almost everything else involves JNI.

Actually quite a bit of the view code is native still - start reading the source for View etc and you hit a level where it's mostly calls out to native libraries. e.g https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/mas...

Well, graphics code eventually needs to speak to the graphics card.

I imagine outside graphics, audio and hardware integration APIs, there is very little done at C level.
