> Fuchsia pivoted to Nest devices, and a story of replacing just the kernel of Android, to reduce the conflict with the Android team

This is like a textbook example of weak leadership of an executive team.

The power jockeying of a fiefdom’s chieftain (power reduction mitigation in this case) is allowed to drive the organizational structure and product strategy.

"Google force replace Android kernel with Fuchsia and hit some teething troubles".

This is example of technically incompetent clueless leadership. That's why MBAs should not be in control in technical companies. They have ruined a product running on billion devices by replacing rock solid kernel with immature experimental project. And so on...

Why do you think fuchsia is immature and/or experimental? It's been iterated on for nearly a decade and is deployed on millions of devices. Also why do you believe there are any MBAs involved in any decision making? Your understanding of how Google works seems to rely on faulty assumptions. It's also not clear why you seem to wish for Fuchsia to fail - having a Linux monoculture has all the same issues many folks argue against with other monocultures. Fuchsia succeeding will lead to improvements in all OS as they learn from each others advantages.
