And why having Java running on DalvikVM, which we fully expected to do so, is news worthy? What are the context here?
The context is replacing the Linux part of Android with Fuschia or at least letting Fuschia share with Android's userspace SW ecosystem even if Android continues to use Linux.

It is partly because of some dissatisfaction with Apple that I have been looking kindly at Chromebooks. For the price of a magic keyboard cover for an iPad Pro, I bought a Lenovo Chromebook last year (including a keyboard cover with trackpad and pen stylus) that does fine for enjoying all types of media, and if I don’t run anything else then the Linux container system is adequate for some light weight development.
If Fushia ends up being good, I look forward to something like a Chromebook that uses it.
Android Things nee Brillo, didn't last long after being released with hype.
You are better off buying a proper Linux laptop from an Linux OEM like Tuxedo.
