Android doesn't run Dalvik any more and Chrome doesn't appear to be given "priority" in any meaningful sense.

Their reasons may have seemed sound technically, but the business of building a phone ecosystem on a completely new OS were well beyond their abilities.

You seem to have ignored the strategic reason for having a platform. It's very hard to compete with a default application.

Sure it may not have been in their wheelhouse but they certainly had reason to try.
