The implication is "I have no interest in this because I'm happy with what I have". Okay, that's fine, please enjoy your Java and build wonderful things. Oh, BTW, why are you typing into a reply box on a thread you have no interest in? And the implication there is because your tool is a poopy head and I wanted to subtly point that out by expressing my lack of interest.

So, yeah, go away because that's not contributing to the conversation.

Well, maybe there’s another implication.

Google switching to C# would lead to them neglecting and deprecating the Java ecosystem on Android. That’s gonna be real ugly for app devs, ending up having to rewrite everything.

So, maybe, there is a real contribution in the comment, which you just haven’t seen yet?

I don't think anyone is suggesting Google should drop Java, just that C# should be made a first class citizen, side-by-side with Java.
Yet, that’s what’d happen. Google hasn’t even managed to support C++ alongside of Java as first class citizen, adding yet another one would make the situation even worse.
