The OS was never deployed on a production phone, what expectations were there?

Right now as it stands, Google has made no more use of Fuchsia than LG has with webOS. It's a washing machine operating system.

Java was literally designed for washing machines, and look how it evolved.

Java was designed for a lot of applications and branched outward. Fuchsia was designed to replace Android and is instead being used for appliances. A sector that LG, Oracle, and many other appliance manufacturers and software companies are already well invested into.

The future for this OS doesn't look very bright.
