I mean I agree that Dart is DOA, but Flutter is the "killer app" for it and that's in its infancy right now.

Dart has gained more success since moving away from the "new browser language", which was an impossible task in retrospect.

I think Dart is, in fact, an excellent example of how much power Google is willing to throw behind a language. Dart was constantly marketed on the Chrome blog, for example.

Do you think Android team would just stand still with people nagging them about Flutter?
