Invoking native code has always been necessary in Java. In the past it was done via JNI which has many issues. These new APIs solve the issues and simplify the API. The use case is interacting with anything that isn't written in Java.

Blast from the past! I remember doing JNI integration in Java around 2003! It's been so long I don't remember details but you had to declare some interfaces in java, then some middleware .h or .c and then call the native library iirc. Glad to see things are progressing!!
