The goal isn't the wholesale replacement of html webpages. I have a traditional website for SEO and such that links to my Flutter game app on the same domain. It's exactly what the parent described: a way to ship executable code. A lot of features supported for websites don't work, sure. But that's not the point. It's a single build that practically any user on the planet can execute without needing to install something.

The idea that an app distribution method needs to natively support every feature and analysis method that works for a website is nonsense. You don't expect all that from every app on the play store, for instance. The browser isn't just for visiting html websites anymore. It's also the app distribution method with the widest reach.

On your specific complaints: it's easy to make your screens have different urls. An app that doesn't is built by a novice or lazy developer.

Skipping frames while scrolling is a fair complaint. In my experience, flutter is performant enough but always just a little short of the performance I'd like. Definitely an area that could use improvement.
