JB is investing heavily into native, JS and wasm compiler backends, so there's a counterpoint. Another is that Kotlin is steadily adding support for features in newer Java runtimes, such as records. Another is that the Kotlin/JVM backend can target up to Java 17 bytecode, which is obviously not supported by Android.
This reads heavily of FUD.
