There are currently no plans to release TrueType versions of the Noto Sans CJK 
fonts. One huge advantage of the OpenType/CFF versions is that they have 
superior hinting.

One issue for TrueType versions that you may not have considered is that no one 
wants to manual hint nearly a half-million glyphs. What compounds that issue is 
that the number of people on this planet who are genuinely skilled at manually 
hinting TrueType glyphs may be countable by only one or two hands, and the 
sheer amount of time that the process would take.

As Ken states there is no plan to make a TTF version. Android KitKat has 
support for CFF outline fonts.
