You could say the same about Objective C, and to a lesser extent Swift. While I respect your opinion, and somewhat agree on it being a weird choice to use Dart, I think there is value in learning it iff it becomes the ubiquitous way to write apps for mobile.

Objective-C and Swift help sell Apple's hardware.

Besides Ad Words, there is very little being sold by Dart.

How so? Do you think apple sales would drop if they switched all development to using a more mainstream language?

Naturally, who would port their apps without a monetary value behind it?

Plus how much money would it cost to replace all the existing software stack?
