I'm no expert, but when they talk about multiple CPUs I understood them to mean multiple cores, not necessarily multiple CPUs on different motherboard sockets. Even midrange phones today typically have CPUs with multiple cores.
Google may have some intention of running Fuschia on servers, but even if you're developing a kernel for pocket mobile devices, you're still going to want to handle multiple cores.
Whether this signals Google's intentions to stop supporting Linux, who knows, but there are still a lot of other organizations invested in supporting Linux on servers.
