Yeah but it’s usefulness is really limited and just feels shoehorned into the project. Why couldn’t it have been Kotlin or TS? Something that mobile developers or web developers could jump into and keep a bunch of their existing tooling.

Then you would've needed to package a JVM or a JavaScript engine, making the app distribution a whole lotta different deal.

Kotlin doesn't just run on the JVM - it can compile to native binaries with Kotlin Native. It compiles to WASM and JS too.

At the time of Flutter development it couldn't do any of those things.

Thats a good point, I tend to forget how long Flutter has been around.
