>Security model is better.
From the outside looking in I thought the security model could really help Google lower splash radius from zero days? The feature-set certainly sounds appealing just reading the marketing blurb. [1]
With any luck in the next iteration Google will create a Fuschia ISO or VMDK so people who want to give it a spin without building it can quickly get a taste of the environment. The fact you can at least run it in an emulator is definitely a step up from requiring dedicated hardware, which was the previous process. [2]

I believe Google can make a system that is secure from outside adversaries, but I'm less trusting that they would make an OS that isn't riddled with hooks for Google surveillance.

Certainly. Sad thing is how many won't make the switch. I'm not judging, I'd do the same prolly due to pressures(ease of use, bandwagon, specific pain point fixes vs Linux)
