Add to it the ecosystem of libraries which are virtually non existent for Flutter. Even Google (pioneer of Flutter) doesn’t have all their standard SDKs ported for Flutter.

We played around with Flutter for a total one day before ditching the idea altogether (in favour of native Android with Kotlin)

I've made several apps in Flutter and so far I'm actually happy with it. I look forward to the next project. I can easily understand why it's not for everyone, as it's true that not all standard SDK's has been ported.

And of course, not all projects are suited for hybrid solutions in any case.

Someone pointed this out to me on Twitter this morning and it's an aspect I didn't even think about. Most third-party SDKs have a JS version which generally (not always) works with React Native. Can't really say the same for Dart, so you're almost always doing a native integration or building it yourself.
