Interestingly I see your second paragraph as an endorsement to use flutter because it is platform agnostic. If the premise is your users want good UX, then they don't care about the rendering mechanics or uniformity (with regards to the rest of the web) of your application.

Sure it's an opaque flutter canvas you're rendering, but then the browser becomes just another platform you target for your app. Your users don't care, they just want the damn app to work everywhere with good UX.

It certainly could be a supporting argument. Whether I am confident that Flutter will be used to provide good UX in most cases is a different issue. Haha Yes, I wouldn't necessarily see the Flutter approach as bad if it improves the web. It's just that I think we have enough tools built-in to accomplish good webpages, even "web apps", and many of the kinds of developers resorting to Flutter may be the types who couldn't figure out why their custom-built blog using React is so slow and buggy (it's gotta be the stupid DOM!).

EDIT: I don't mean to crap on React. It's just a common frontend framework.
