You could ask the same about Dart, or any other language with an opensource toolchain missing from Fedora. I think it boils down to having people to do the work, which is probably not an easy task. I'm also assuming we'd need a more up-to-date gradle package, which might not be a trivial task, and I suspect that the build system is probably full of "Fedora violations" between the need for an internet access, fetching pre-built dependencies, bundling some dependencies... That's usually what discourages me when I look at that kind of stack: somewhat large and full of no-nos. So I have to assume Kotlin is missing because nobody was bold enough to take it on (or nobody on the Fedora project is interested in Kotlin).
