I think a simple heuristic would be who is using it internally. It’s their payment platforms and Ads platform and a centrepiece of their upcoming operating system. It has literally billions of dollars depending on it. It’s not going anywhere.

Their cross platform mobile framework is not part of that strategy. In fact, Google has already said that they are moving toward more native development for iOS. https://9to5google.com/2021/10/10/google-ios-apps-native/ https://9to5google.com/2021/10/10/google-ios-apps-native/

  That doesn't mean they need to switch away from flutter. You can use it to have a single codebase that uses Material design on Android and Cupertino design on iOS.

Their upcoming operating system fuchsia? They have to first release it and then persuade most manufactures to use it and explain why they should invest money into it instead of their currently profitable android devices. It's not going be that easy for them like with android. They had WearOS for a while and I bet they had give some big carrot to Samsung so that they finally use it instead of Tizen. Same with Google TV - Samsung prefer tizen, LG sticks with webOS. Google's IoT platforms (forgot the name) were a flop. Chromebook - mostly irrelevant and devs don't want to write software for that - recently they killed Chrome App Store.
