I can appreciate that, but I am also not excited about a walled garden growing around desktop.

Yeah, the evolution of Windows and OSX towards integrated "App Stores" and less control over app installation bums me out too. I grew up with a C64 and BASIC at the READY prompt, and hope the world of personal computing allowing anybody to write and run software survives well into the future.

Given that Google is progressively building higher and higher walls around Android, thinking a Google project is going to save you from walled gardens is perhaps a bit silly. Right now it's not marketable, but once it is, expect the business people at Google to start pushing Play Services and the like onto this platform too.

That being said, there's a lot of things about Fuchsia that are pretty interesting, and I'm definitely curious what ends up being done with it.

Not sure where you got that impression. I do not think this project will save me from anything.
