Kotlin succeeded precisely because it is its own language (though still interoperable with Java). If it were just a modified reimplementation of Java nobody would bother with it.

Kotlin succeeded because Google got in bed with Jetbrains for their IDE and programming language.

Without Google pushing Kotlin no matter what on Android, Kotlin would be yet another JVM guest language.
