How is that a counter example? Doesn’t Kotlin fulfil a similar role for Android?

Kotlin wasn't created by Google and wasn't pushed by them. It's more like they accepted it because the Android developer base was adopting it organically en-masse anyway. That's also the case for many other places where Java is used.

It was pushed by Android team, the same folks that came up with Jetpack stuff.

Additionally JetBrains has their fingers all over the place in Android.

Kotlin, Android Studio a mix of InteliJ and Clion, Compose,...
