Sadly, I have to bear the blame for that.

In the early days of Android (I should say the first days of Android), the
director of engineering came to me and asked me "Do you think we should use
TestNG for Android?".

I was not prepared for this question so I told him I'd get back to him. I
spent the next few days going over the TestNG code base (that was circa
2007 so TestNG was just three years old). Obviously, I knew that code base
very well but I had written it with server testing in mind, certainly not
with the intent of running on a mobile device, especially on an OS that we
were still in the process of writing.

After a couple of days, I got back to him and I told him "No, I don't think
we should make TestNG the standard on Android, I just didn't write it with
this in mind and I'm afraid that it just won't perform well".

So we went with JUnit 3.

I'm sorry.
