>Kotlin has great tooling, and Java library compatibility, so why wouldn't you use it?

As an average company what you want from a language is: your team already knows it or is fast to learn, it is arguably better in a measurable way (development is faster, codebase is easier to maintain), developers like it more, it has a large support and audience.

How many of these does Kotlin check?

Kotlin is the Dvorak to Java's Qwerty. It looks better in theory, but not where it actually counts, and not enough to justify going against the grain.
