I think I figured out that the parent meant:
> Flutter is not a great success; Fuchsia never made it big, and the Android team counter attacked with Kotlin's adoption, JetPack Compose, and Kotlin Multiplatform.
(Despite being much derided when output by LLMs, a semicolon would've really helped me here!)
Partly my confusion came from having heard of both Flutter and Fuschia but having no idea they were connected. In fact I only knew of Flutter working on Android (and other non-Google OSs).
Anyway, it's true that Flutter is not as widely used as an Android replacement would be (if Fuchsia had turned out to be that) but for a UI framework it's reasonably well used and pretty great at cross mobile/desktop development.
