Only with the deep pockets of FAANG like companies.
Android or ChromeOS would never have taken off the ground without Google's keeping pushing them forward no matter what. In both OSes the kernel is hardly exposed to userspace, Google could move to something else and it would be hardly noticeable to app developers (OEMs and rooted phones is another matter).
And then there is Fuschia.
Outside general-purpose domain, the IoT world is getting full of BSD licensed OSes, RTOS, Zephyr, NuttX, Tizen RT.
Ironically Zephyr is managed by Linux Foundation, although it doesn't have anything to do with Linux code.
