Ironically, Samsung invested in Tizen development for a minute so they would have their own backup in case Android was no longer viable.

And it's also amusing that the Dart-skeptics now see there is at least one legal reason to justify Google's continued development of Flutter.

Tizen is a horrible mess, nobody wants to develop in that ecosystem. Samsung might dream about it being their backup, but their API is brain-damaging.

I've read multiple articles about that, yeah. Their support in their own platform was clearly half-hearted and short-lived. But my point is that that they seemed to have the same motivations for investing in Tizen as Google seemingly does in Fuchsia.

Tizen is still a thing though, just not in the smart phone space.

Tons of smart TVs are shipped with Tizen. Last smart watch that uses Tizen is shipped in 2018.
