> here are abundant reasons why Google would want a non-Linux operating system internally.

You may be in the right, but I personally don't see no reason for it. Linux is the best supported operating system in the world and Google always has the option to alter the OS if need be.

I do believe Fuchsia is vastly more secure and stabler than Linux, which could be a benefit, but Google isn't exactly being pilfered by miscreants on a daily basis, so that benefit is in doubt.

Google pays for hundreds of engineers working on the Linux kernel, who spend a lot of their time arguing with Linux maintainers about what should or should not be upstreamed, and painstakingly grooming their internal diffs vs upstream. You can imagine why not having to do that would be easier.

They don't have to do this. They can maintain their own patches.
