Yes, unfortunately it is so. We don’t want to introduce a change that will break the build for the significant part of our users.

Meta comment: since the lag between “feature hits JVM/JDK” and “features hits Android” seems to grow with time, and “feature is available on most Android devices” is even worse, I have to wonder whether that strategy is robust.

The problem is not in Android installed on Android devices, but rather in the Android build tools. And by users I mean the developers who use these build tools.
