Android OS layer has zero Kotlin, and Google had to backtrack on their decision to let Java languish, as the Android ecosystem started to lose out on Java ecosystem, thus ART is now updatable via Play Store since Android 12, and Java 17 LTS is the latest supported version.
Kotlin is only used on Jetpack Compose and a couple of AndroidX libraries, that you have to ship alongside the application. And as alternative to Groovy on Gradle build scripts.
I expect this year's GDC to announce Java 21 LTS support.
