Google is working on “microfuchsia,” a stripped down version of the company’s Fuchsia operating system that runs on the Google Nest Hub.

Honestly at this point fuschia's continued existence feels less like "investing in a product that will yield dividends long-term" and more "middle manager desperately trying to justify their job".

This is going to sound very 'my uncle works for Nintendo' so feel free to not believe me, but the last I heard it was a "talent retention project". Google would rather let some extremely good engineers work on Fuschia, even though it that has very little value, than leave the company and build something higher value for a competitor.
