Actually quite the opposite, Fuchsia already runs on production devices manufactured by Google. The (ridiculously long named) Google Nest Home Hub and Home Hub

  Apart from the unfortunate sounding name, for this to be relevant on android phones or watches, it needs to simply work with the 2+ million apps out there. Just posix compatibility is insufficient - apps rely on Linux implementation behavior.

    No one doing apps cares about POSIX on or Linux on Android, unless we are talking about people rooting their devices. The official stable APIs are the Java/Kotlin frameworks, NDK native libraries, ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries. Exactly to cut down on misbehaviours of developers getting hold of unofficial Linux syscalls or non public .so, Google has started to use LinuxSE and seccomp to lock out such kind of apps. So any Android application that only uses public APIs will have no trouble migrating to Fuchsia.

  They probably cut it down from the original “Play Home Hub All Access by Nest by Google”.

    The original sold-as product name was Google Home Hub, the announced rename was the shorter Nest Hub, though it seems to be fully Google Nest Hub (that's the title of the Google Store product page, though the page itself only ever used Nest Hub.) I can't find anything from Google using both the “Nest” and “Home” bits as part of the same product name, though some third party sites seem to have mixed the old and new names that way.
