What's the incentive for Samsung to follow Google into Fuchsia?
If it is designed to give Google a lot more control over it, Samsung would have to be idiots to follow them! Samsung has the resources to continue development of the latest Android themselves, though likely they'd find willing partners among other major Android OEMs if they wish.
If Google releases Fuchsia 'Android fragmention' will become a 'Fushsia fracture', as some smaller OEMs take the path of least resistance and hope to benefit from Google fanboys who would reject Samsung phones if they didn't have Google's latest-n-greatest.
Google wants to have it both ways - they want to claim to be a friend of open source, but they want tight control over the platform. I'm sure they regret ever making it as open as it was, because if they hadn't all those Chinese OEMs would be running Google services and Baidu and Tencent wouldn't be bigger (combined) than Google is today. Some Android fans will no doubt claim the only reason it is in the position it is is because it is open source, but that ignores the reality that 98% of Android's user base doesn't even know what open source is. Android won because it was free, and Windows Phone / Blackberry were too late to market.
