BTW, nice to have these kinds of pro and con conversations about random tech. I don't get it at work as much as I'd like.

A lot of open source projects die when their corporate investor closes shop. The community is often just dependants who want to use the tech but don't have the ability to keep it running. And it is usually not big enough to come up with the funding for a foundation to run maintenance and development.

Flutter is very ambitious as a project. I have more direct experience with other similar projects like react native, which really struggles despite the investments.
