A comment on Fuchsia is not Linux. Parent comment
Android already does physically correct soft shadows in real time.
The initial design of material would have allowed way more space manipulations, like making a view rotate on any axis.
So the shadow implementation allows to remain correct even in this kind of case.
It is kinda sad that the final design forbids this, a simple raster shadow would have been enough to just signify the elevation.
