'It's a bit weird to do an entire OS switch to the futuristic, secretive Fuchsia project and then have basically nothing to show (or say) for it in terms of obvious improvements in performance or security. You can dive into the minutia of the Fuchsia source code, but it continues to be a mystery in terms of what practical benefits it offers consumers. Google never talks about Fuchsia, so not much is known about what, exactly, Google is accomplishing here.'
The reasons seem pretty obvious. Hanlon’s Razor says “Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.” Instead of assuming there is some wonderfully cunning, overriding company-wide master plan, it is more likely there is a bunch of not-quite-so-cunning, competing lesser plans. This is a corporate vanity project, completely homegrown and containing no code from “not-invented-here” Linux. It exists because of internal politics at a huge multinational behemoth corp which, like all such corps, has different parts working at odds with each other, trying to build their own empires at each other’s expense.
