The fact that it (the same code base with minor changes) runs on desktop and mobile platforms?

Great point. It is striking to me how similar many of the modern languages are for various platforms (thinking of Rust, Kotlin, and Swift here), but it is still quite difficult to share business logic among web, Android, and iOS devices because of language differences.

If Dart/Flutter is good enough for all of those platforms, that is quite the value proposition.
