Just to understand this correctly, are you talking about internal debates at google? Like the different teams embracing different technologies for building apps?

Yes, Flutter is “sponsored” by other money making teams inside Google. It is why resources have been spent on Flutter for Web, which no one asked for - the Ads team essentially bought the feature for their usage. This was also how React Native got its start in Facebook.
So my read of Flutter is it’s a way for talent to “ship and get promoted” inside Google or to support other Google product teams. Everyone else is a secondary priority.

“the Ads team at Google” is a very strange thing to treat as equivalent to “no one”.
