We need to say goodbye to the unix philosophy. From the security point of view there are much better options. Also text based tooling is cumbersome compare to the alternatives. We should aim higher than just the cathedral approach of unix alternatives.
Like so many things in life, there are so many variables/criteria and different ways to weigh them that I do not think one can make a claim like "text based tooling is cumbersome compare to the alternatives".
What are the alternatives? I had to do a little windows shell programming when working on Chef orchestration to set up windows servers.
There was "flow" programming in WebMethods I had to work on that tried to provide a snap in place component GUI to program data transformation.
I would say that there is something limiting in all the GUI based interfaces I have had to work with. Some option you can not get to, or it is not apparent how two things can communicate with each other.
Text based options have always seem more open to inspection, and, hence, easier to reason about how it works. YMMV.
I'm not an expert here, but I this is pretty unlikely at this point.
Google has been working on Fuschia for a decade, and far as I can tell, the only place it was ever deployed was to a Google smart home hub 5 years ago. The only Fuschia news I've heard since then was about layoffs and killing projects related to it (e.g. Chrome on Fuschia).
If Google isn't moving any of their own phones over to Fuschia after a decade of work, it's hard to imagine them unilaterally flipping Android to it and forcing the hand of every Android OEM to follow suit.

The idea is it would be nice to have an OS that is a little easier to learn for the next generation of devs.
