> that renders to it's own widgets

I've always felt this to be a net negative, and it puts me off Flutter more than anything else.

I know it has no bearing on the app developer or the end user, but there's something about pouring thousands of person-hours into making a facsimile of something that already exists (especially something that has already had thousands of person-hours put into usability and accessibility) that feels so wasteful. It's silly I know, but it just doesn't sit right with me.
