Yeah it does seem odd theyre pushing both flutter/dart and jetpack/kotlin, usually more choice is a good thing, but I'm increasingly uncomfortable about the effect on Kotlin if google goes full in on flutter instead

I wouldn't be too worried. I mean I think it's possible but I feel like it's a while away. As a native Android dev, my arm-chair hypothesis is that currently both of those (kotlin, flutter) are targeting different developers and until either one starts including the other developers then I don't see any one winning over. Kotlin - loved by native devs Flutter/Dart - web devs (previous experience with JS) *I'm biased as a Native android dev but from my experience this is the case. Also Kotlin is really a great/fun(ctional)/expressive language

Google is currently designing jetpack compose which is their latest UI framework and is in Kotlin, I don't see them dropping such a wonderful language. Flutter on the other hands might just disappear

Flutter has been a Ad Words team all along, go watch Android Fireside sessions at past Google IO to watch the teams political correct answers when asked about their opinion related to Flutter.
