I see the limitation.. but I must be missing some subtle distinction b/c isn't Flutter doing essentially the same thing under the hood?

"The engine’s C/C++ code is compiled with Android’s NDK, and any Dart code is AOT-compiled into native code. The app runs using the native instruction set (no interpreter is involved)."

It does the same thing, that's why my dream is not fulfilled by Dart. Or may even have worse accessibility, but I don't know.

If it would be compiled to DEX (native for Android APIs) or JVM (compilable to DEX) byte code it would be different. It would at least enable use of it to make such a dream.

I posted this earlier, I think accessibility was a requirement for an internal google flutter app, have you had a chance to look at https://flutter.io/accessibility/
