These seem mostly application level (i.e. high level) software running on embedded systems. I wouldn't call developing on Android "embedded software".

The point being that the choice of language is strongly influenced by the domain the software is developed for.

I graduated 16 years ago and I have always got jobs which were pure C, on state-of-the-art products as well. That's still the way it is, plenty of jobs available.
