SoC vendors probably want Google to pay to support Fuchsia. If they want it to replace Linux, it has to be bottom-up, not top down.

I'd imagine making something worthy of replacing Linux Kernel isn't easy, even for a big corporation with the size of Google.

The kernel, Zircon, was a pet project of the original dev later brought on to a Google team, if I remember my conversation with him correctly.

I always imagined Fuchsia as a server OS, not a replacement for Linux on Android. Wouldn't their KataOS/Sparrow project be more relevant to Android?

Fuchsia was announced around the time of the Google Vs Oracle case if I remember correctly. They said it had been in development for years but I guess the assumption of the public announcement was that it was directed at oracle.
