Replace and unify android, chromeos, their various iot devices. Eventually it becomes the base image for faas, app engine. Complete domination.

Now if they have Microsoft/apple level os penetration you can be damn sure it's gonna be only serving google search. Just to ensure/build more moat aroing Google search can justify infinite cost

Unless they want to do crazy things like sell to the EU market, in which case they're back to having to offer multiple search engines.

well I mean, userspace would still be up in the air and there's no reason to have google search in a kernel right?

Yea, but I'm excited to see what a modern kernel can do that's master planned with our current knowledge. I don't know too much about the Linux kernel. But I imagine there's alot of cruft and inefficiencies because it grew over a long period of time in an ad hoc manner
