I believe the long-term goal is for it to replace Linux as the kernel in Android.
The technical reason, I'd say is that the access control model in Android is a kludge on top of the Linux kernel, and it is more difficult to sandbox apps. Fuchsia was made to support Android's model, and in a capability-oriented OS you get sandboxing by default.
A political reason is to not be dependent on Linux, but I'm sure that other people have opinions about there being more.
