Flutter on Linux has nothing to do with Google, cross platform development or choice.

Technically, Flutter is just another way of shipping apps, just like Electron and many other Electron-like alternatives.

Flutter on Linux just got attention because it was adopted by Canonical to build Ubuntu apps.

But it's just an illusion to think that Canonical chose Flutter because it is technically superior to GTK or QT.

Canonical relies heavily in GTK and Gnome for its products but has almost no influence over GTK and Gnome development when comparison with its main competitor, Red Hat. So they decided to use Flutter to escape from competitor influence or to have a technical advantage or both.
