This is pretty disappointing, but the writing was already on the wall for any desktop-ish version of Fuchsia. I do hope it somehow still replaces the Android core someday, maybe just running the Android Chrome via Starnix.
It's a bummer because Fuchsia takes everything we've learned from automatic software updates, devices that run untrusted and semi-trusted code, proprietary drivers in a OSS kernel, devices whose manufactures aren't compelled to update them, the unsuitability of the user-based security model, containers, and more and applied it to a new kernel and OS.
Fuchsia is more or less exactly the kind of trust-nothing OS architecture I want to run as an end user and as a developer who has to run a lot of random 3rd-party code locally.
