Well the real question is what new capabilities did anyone justify that project with? Fuschia seems to lack a killer edge, some radical new take that can justify such an investment. If you read their website it's all about components and stuff but consumer IoT is the opposite of an extensible component platform.

Companies like Google can afford lateral moves where the immediate business case is not there, but opportunities may pop up down the road. Of course, missing deadlines can easily get such moves killed.
