This would be a strange step considering that Google spent so much time, energy and money to convince developers to use a very specific design language and application flow to give users a unified experience of Android across many apps. If they would do this we'd have a new set of apps that behaved and felt very differently which would probably cause a lot of confusion among users. What I could imagine is some kind of framework that makes it easier to share data and state between a Chrome app on the desktop and Android apps on mobile.
