I'm not so sure about that, yes it's an important language and has oficial support from Google, but by the amount of usage we can say Dart ( in Flutter ) also "replaced" Java on Android.

Don't get me wrong I HATE Java on Android and everything GUI related, but I'm don't think Java will be replaced anytime soon.

Not sure I agree with that. More on "Android’s Kotlin-first approach" is at https://developer.android.com/kotlin/first. I haven't heard the same about Flutter and Android's new UI toolkit, Compose, is written in Kotlin.
