I can't say everything I've heard for NDA reasons but I've been under the impression its use is in future resource-constrained IoT devices, which tend to lack a secure, lightweight OS with a unified API. Reverse engineering a certain "smart" nightlight uncovered a minimal Linux 2.6.xx rootfs with telnet open and enabled by default

I highly doubt that.
"Magenta targets modern phones and modern personal computers with fast processors, non-trivial amounts of ram with arbitrary peripherals doing open ended computation"
Take a look at the repo. Fuchsia is an OS for mobile devices. The UI is clearly made for phones, they use the Flutter framework, which was made specifically for mobile app development and can target iOS and Android too.

No it's not. Fuchsia is device agnostic. It's for mobile devices, personal computers, IOT devices, etc. Just because it uses Flutter does not restrict it to mobile devices.
The i5 has 2 cores, different memory bus setup, cache setup, etc. If you're saying it has the same rough level of horsepower, that makes sense. Not at all the same architecture though.
What does that have to do with Linux though? Surely it's the manufacturer's fault for leaving telnet open and not updating? How would a new OS solve any of these issues?
