Actually even more nowadays, given Android with 75% market share, even if it is a different brand of coffee, alongside all developers using JetBrains products even when not using Java as their programming language.

Depends on how you define Java. Android can execute Java programs, and bundles a handful of OpenJDK libraries, but it stopped running the JVM a long time ago.
Android never had a JVM as such, first Dalvik, and nowadays ART, and I mentioned another brand of coffee for a reason.
And it isn't the only subset of Java around, see the embedded market with their own flavours as well.
