The fact that ChromeOS had to gain Android support speaks loudly about what might win in the end.

If Fuchsia ever gets released, I bet ART will replace Flutter.

It is already being ported to run on Fuchsia anyway.

ART isn't a UI framework, it can't "replace" Flutter. You can run Flutter apps in ART, the article even talks about doing so.

Indeed it the basis of the Android stack, so it plugs naturally with everything written in Java and Kotlin for Android.

Flutter has zero relationship with ART, it just plugs into Android via the NDK, like anyone else using C++ code.
