Languages without platforms fade away, history is full of examples.
For better or worse, Kotlin designers have decided to make a deal with Android for turning it into Kotlin's plaform, and they definitely do not care what happens with the JVM.

Then there is the whole matter of ChromeOS vs Android vs Fuchsia of Google's internal politics, and Kotlin is only relevant in one of them.
