They don't own you anything, specially when they use it already in their products and just recently announced a new product with it [1], so you are just using FUD at this point

They mention: "Our team in Google Research"

They have multiple R&D teams so and they are working multiple projects

It's not unusual when announcing a new product to explain where it fits in with the rest of the products and why it was needed.

They just released a new product with Fuschia 2 months ago, they still use it, why do you insist with "they don't use it anymore" when it's just not true at all

Didn't say that. Where did you get that quote, "they don't use it anymore" ?

I did say "why they didn't use it", meaning, "why didn't they use it for this specific use case?"
