Google forks Linux to make a mobile operating system, stripping out lots of familiar FOSS software and licensing requirements and replacing it with their own. Also it’s written in java.
How unrealistic. That could never happen.

What a miserable reality that would be
Also it’s written in java
Gag me with a spoon
Granted.
Now everyone’s grandparents are calling you to help them get everything working the way it used to…
Granted. 80% of the servers now use Windows, and you broke the internet.
Granted. Linux Monthly now has a 20% share of the computer related magazine market, both subscription and newsstand. While most readers report buying it for the in-depth Linux news, many suspect they’re actually buying it for the centerfold. Surveys indicate 93% of Linux Monthly don’t know what Linux is. I will let your imagination run wild about the subject of the centerfold.
Richard Stallman stretched out nude on the beach, no doubt.
The cloud now runs on macos servers
Granted (literally IRL): 50%+ of Internet users are on mobile devices, 70%+ of those are running Android, and Android uses the Linux kernel, so Linux market share is already over 20%.
It’s just that it’s DRM’d and un-Free bastard Linux, not GNU.
Alternatively:
Granted: Android marketshare drops from 70% of the mobile market to <40% (so that the Linux marketshare across mobile+desktop no longer exceeds 20%), and fully-proprietary OSs take up the slack.
Granted but it’s all chrome os
Granted, but everyone changes their mind about Linux and Windows becomes superior
and
WindowsFreeBSD becomes superior
