They certainly did find a new purpose for Dart outside of it being used in parts of their Ads platform, but Flutter, when is was the chrome experiment called sky, first started out using Javascript. The chrome guys decided to move on and look at several language before going with Dart, Swift may have been an option, if it was opensource at the time. Seems a reason for Dart's failure in the web space was mobile. Lar gave a talk last year about his and Kasper iot startup [link] he mentions why dart didn't make it into chrome, saying "then the whole mobile shift happen and there was no room for extra stuff in chrome" [this video]
