People say stuff like this all the time but the truth is that Google as a company has very little direction at the scale of niche software like this. Google as an organization is not pushing Flutter in any meaningful capacity or trying to convince everyone to start adopting it. As a sibling comment asked, how would you expect a search engine giant to go for something that makes the web less indexable? The truth is that Google is a massive company with hundreds of teams that have 0 shared interest in any of their products and operate almost entirely independently.

Yeah, people are saying this all the time, but the truth is that it's exactly the direction to web is taking. I'm not pretending to know how the decision was made, but I am pointing out that it goes very well with their bigger plans for the web (HTTP3, AMP, etc).

I'm 100% sure Google will find a way to index Flutter based-website. I'm also 100% sure it'll be much harder to block ads, using a custom stylesheet, use reader mode, and practically any extension that manipulates the page.
