JB is investing heavily into native, JS and wasm compiler backends, so there's a counterpoint. Another is that Kotlin is steadily adding support for features in newer Java runtimes, such as records. Another is that the Kotlin/JVM backend can target up to Java 17 bytecode, which is obviously not supported by Android.
JB is trying to become Borland, with Kotlin as their Delphi while moving away from the JVM, turning Kotlin into a platform, lets see how high they fly, specially if Google's wind stops blowing.
This reads heavily of FUD.
