100 % is a trap. Lots of games that require performance use c++ heavily. There's an NDK for a reason.

There's a lot of languages and many are used in different contexts. Just because people use Java and C# to write desktop apps doesn't mean a lot are not using c++ and Qt to do the same.

The NDK doesn't expose Android frameworks other than via JNI, games do their UI via OpenGL and use very little features from Android itself.
