This already happend before with Brillo.

It was going to be Android native userspace plus a subset of the Android frameworks redone in C++.

Then suddenly, due to customer feedback as the main official reason, it got rebooted as Android Things, supporting even writing userspace drivers in Java.

Then ChromeOS got to add Android support.

I guess it is kind of clear which group is winning the internal political wars.

Android is a pretty huge brand they invested a lot into. Makes sense, I guess (even though Android for me mostly means buggy and slow).
