Don't worry; once they finish it in a few years, Google's new "Fuchsia" OS will let them take over the world (to an even greater extent than today).

That does sound a bit worrisome if it indeed were to become an OS that runs on every platform including desktops. If they ever close source it, then I will be really worried.

IIRC, it is intended to replace both Android and Chrome OS. And as shown by the Android Open Source Project, they don't need to close-source it to engage in worrisome behavior.
