kataos is a greenfield project. Carbon isn't being created for greenfield applications, it's being created to deal with maintenance of large existing c++ projects. The carbon repo publicly mentions that you are better off using rust otherwise.

Using rust in android is indeed interesting, but it's largely not hindered by legacy interop with c++ there either. Rust has struggled to overcome the challenges with c++ interop in chrome. I fear other c++ codebases face this same struggle.

That makes a lot of sense. It is hard enough on small codebases. I'm very familiar with some c++98 behemoths and I can't think of any good ways to go about it piecemeal. The interop truly is painful.
