It's not that bad to have internal teams competing, for example I doubt we'd have seen compose without flutter.
It seems to me they're trying to not fall into the same trap as Microsoft did trying to protect their dominance with one OS over all other innovation.
That said, the Android team really seems to hate the flutter team ( Jake Wharton lol) also the main flutter guys all come from chrome like Ian Hickson so if there was bad blood from chromeOs that will stay.
Personally I hope Flutter succeeds because I really hate the Android sdk. Fuchsia just seems like something they're experimenting with and putting into smart clocks or whatever.

I believe, that if they were both going into the same direction, maybe Longhorn would have successes, instead of having the detour of rebuilding its ideas in COM, going through multiple iterations of it (WinRT, UAP, UWP) and then complaining that most devs use the .NET projections anyway. What I dislike in Flutter is its dependency in Dart, yet another eco-system starting from scratch, just to save a programming language, kind of.
