Yeah- the license and single-source-of-developers mean that Fuchsia has looked like a Trojan horse to competitors.

  Which it probably would have been, Google regrets giving so much control to OEMs with android and they won't do that again with new development. They locked down wear os a lot more too. But with android it's hard to take back what they've given already. Meaning the OEMs will not be as happy to take fuchsia on board. Not for its technical merits but for the new start under new rules it will imply. The only way for Google to force them would be to discontinue Android which would be very risky. People could fork it, it would put their marketshare at risk of competitors and it would take years to get the app gap with ios closed again as they'd be starting from zero. As a privacy-conscious user I'd worry more about whether the licence permits something like lineage to exist based on fuchsia. I'm sure it's more secure but more under the control of Google too who I'd put into the adversary camp. I wouldn't use it until it was first cleaned of spyware by projects like graphene or lineage. I'm not sure if the license permits this.
