Just the historical Russian ties, which is enough for some people/organizations to avoid them. The biggest practical reason is the dependence on tooling. Kotlin is a great language, but loses a lot of its allure when you can't use an IDE for whatever reason. It makes sense, given that its developed by a company whose main product is IDEs; but it can still be an issue in some circumstances.
What makes kotlin different from any other language in that regard? It’s better to use an IDE that supports the language than a plain text editor that has no tooling. That’s just a fact of programming.
