I find myself asking cynical things like "how will Fuchsia make it easier for them to spy on their users?"

Assuming there's a grand strategy behind this at all, it feels like more of a "steer the industry" play than a "spy even more" play.

If I'm right, the ones who should be worried are Red Hat(/IBM) and Ubuntu. Maybe Amazon, depending on what exactly Google's thinking and how much they weaponize the ability to refrain from open sourcing some of the code.

That's not cynicism, that's realism. Don't let the PR monkeys convince you that reality is wrong.
