Isn't the plan to move Android to Fuchsia eventually (and seamlessly)?

  Hasn't this been the plan for like a decade now? I know some of their products run Fuchsia, like the Nest displays, but no word on main Android devices

    If they did ever have such a plan, they've clearly long since abandoned it. I bet they entertained the idea at one point but it was never seriously put into action.

  No

  As far as I can tell, Google has never stated that as a goal. It had always been a hypothesis.

  The plan was initially to merge Android & Chrome and create "Andromeda" - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/09/android-chrome-andromeda-merged-os-reportedly-coming-to-the-pixel-3/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/09/android-chrome-andro... Then they decided that Fuchsia was going to be the way forward - https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/android/117587/google-allegedly-killed-andromeda-project https://www.thurrott.com/mobile/android/117587/google-allege... Now the latest is that they're once again merging Android & Chrome - https://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-os-becoming-android-3500661/ https://www.androidauthority.com/chrome-os-becoming-android-... But Fuchsia is still being actively developed, not sure to what end - https://fuchsia-review.googlesource.com/q/status:open+-is:wip https://fuchsia-review.googlesource.com/q/status:open+-is:wi...

    As far as I remember, Fuchsia is used for all Googles smart devices now. So maybe just for them?
