I find it odd how someone can look at https://killedbygoogle.com/ and still choose to go all in on a new Google product.

To quote Krusty the Clown: "Because I'm an idiot! Happy?"

Is Flutter free software? If so, I'm sure other companies will continue to fund it's development, especially those that have products developed in it.

My concern would be around the baked in Google services (e.g. maps, firebase, etc) no longer being supported.

I don't think Google can block a framework from accessing it's services through official APIs

Other companies rarely have the resources to spend billions on a dedicated team building a free cross-platform toolkit.

If Google abandons Flutter, companies will spend millions switching to, say, React Native

You and me both. I've spent the past few years rewriting a UWP app into Flutter, and really enjoy the experience. I desperately, desperately don't want to have to go back to web development. I hate the DOM so much.

I doubt you will have to: https://ln.hixie.ch/?start=1700627532&count=1
