Because Dalvik/ART (and regular JVM for that matter) bytecode is much less lossy than machine code. Most of the type information stays intact even after obfuscation, so you still get sensible output from a decompiler. This is in contrast with C/C++ where all struct and class usage gets converted into direct memory accesses.
