I was trying to find out from that site who's behind this and if that information is in there it must be really well hidden. Apart from other concerns, I'm not going to touch an OS from a group that doesn't clearly state who they are.

It's GOOG's GPL-less replacement for the Linux kernel, made so they can control the phones even more.

Now I understand why much of the language in there looks more like foggy marketing hype than a comprehensible explanation.

Besides, the page's CSS is (besides colours) very alike to their other properties. https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/tutorials/he...

Do you actually believe a company such as Google would constrain themselves with GPL (which is pretty much _socialism_) on a product that will possibly bring hundreds of billions in revenue?

No, of course it's logical for them to ditch GPL at the earliest convenience.

And it's still logical of me to criticise the idea on principle.
