I always thought Dart/Flutter was a hedge against Oracle shutting down Java-usage on Android. Now that they have Kotlin (which devs generally much prefer over the Java-facsimile Dart) and Jetpack, I'm not sure either what relevance Dart/Flutter has to Android.

It has the relevance that many Google teams prefer it to Kotlin, hence internal politics.
Jetpack Compose is clearly a counter movement from Android team.
