Well if the company is publicly traded, secrecy of internal matters is a legal requirement and contingency of employment.

By default, certainly.

Btw: In February I spent some time looking at the then about 100 committers to Fuchsia/Flutter. Some quite impressive names. I think Fuchsia is a really serious effort in the Chrome team.

There's definitely a lot of ex-Chrome people there, but I don't think it follows that it is in any way in the Chrome team. I'm still curious as to why all of them are essentially creating a new OS, though! Quite the departure from what they've worked on before (and many have been working on the web for two decades).
