Way back in time, the Android x86/amd64 builds was nice to be able to
run the whole app in a decently fast emulator. I haven't touched android
app development for a long while so I don't know what the alternatives
are nowadays.

So, it was nice to be able to build it for Android x86 while developing
things, but I see no reason to build such binaries for releases/CI.

We can still build the "mobile app" as a native Linux binary on x86 or
whatever else you're running Linux on.  Which isn't *quite* the same
as running it in an Android emulator but for most development purposes
it's near enough, and it means you can just make and run without going
through the whole build and install a package ordeal for every little
test.
