I don't know how to fix the showcase problem. With web apps, it's easy – just scan HTML, deduce what framework is used, and add it to your showcase list. With Flutter mobile/desktop apps it's not possible. And there are zero incentives for developers to send their apps for screenshots. You just ship the release and move on to the next tasks. I also discovered Flutter in 2018, and it kind brought joy into UI programming for me. I rewrote all web apps I had with Flutter and published a bunch of mobile apps, but the coolest thing is that I routinely make apps for my own (or my team's) use. For me, Flutter lowered the costs of UI app development so much that I could just spend a weekend making some neat, small, practical tool for my own needs. I really love making these "private" apps – no need to care about all corner cases for all users, no need to polish design for all screen sizes/font sizes. Don't even need to be released (TestFlight at max, if doing it for a team). It's just fun, and I wish more developers could have the same experience. |

This is trivial for any team that provides a framework/platform and spends any amount of time engaged with their customers - you know who your prestige customers are and you show off examples of the products they have built with it. The state of the showcase is just reinforcing the points made by the OP.
