ChromeOS only uses V8 by happenstance, being an OS that's just a browser.
Android could have used anything and it would have been successful, even C++.
These were both successful purely because they're cheap, not because technology.

What matters is what is available for developers on userspace, regardless if they like it or not.
Great technology sadly wins on merit.
Technology wins on either being cheaply available, in a worse is better fashion, as devs rather drink free lemon juice instead of nice costly orange one, or by having companies with willingness and deep pockets to push it no matter what.
