As someone who loves kotlin on android, I have been searching for companies experimenting with kotlin jvm or kotlin node backends and have been surprised to see that companies are not making the jump. Swift is remarkably similar to kotlin. With a kotlin backend you have the benefits of the JVM or node ecosystem and a beloved language that a bunch of your frontend devs will understand.

Yes I also note this lack of uptake of Kotlin in Java environments but on reflection it's not surprising because organisations which have chosen Java tend to be conservative. Enterprise software is predominantly Java and .Net and probably will be for a long time to come.
