Never thought this way, this is actually a great idea. I mean, even if Android runs Androids apps natively, in most cases developers still needs to include Android support library, to provide backwards compatibility with older versions of Android.

So since we need Android support library anyway, why not simply include the complete runtime (like ARC), in base of a really simple and slim OS, like ChromeOS with Flutter UI. This new OS would get direct updates from Google, like ChromeOS. To get legacy support of apps designed for Android, simple repackage every existing application with ARC. Win-win situation, right?
