Well I think this has to be because of the use of Java in Android. If this is the case, I'd say that Oracle should be grateful that Android chose Java when there are better options out there. I personally wouldn't have touched the language if it wasn't for Android. Most developers think it sucks.
It might also be because you can use 3rd party java libraries in android. In either case, java was given a breath of life by google, Oracle should be kissing their butt.
