Yes, scrolling is currently one of Flutter's weak spots. Their implementations of scrolling are not up to par with native implementations.
While that really was a big issue, that hasn’t been true for a while now.

Long enough to kill the momentum and let RN take the lead.
Flutter overtook RN a while back in terms of popularity in a few different metrics if I recall correctly. I forget the specifics but something from GitHub and StackOverflow I think.
Regardless of the specifics I don’t think the narrative is true, Flutter has had substantial continued growth for years now.
Simple as that. Using a flutter app has non system scrolling acceleration, scroll speed etc.
It doesn't feel like a native app, because it isn't a native app.
With react native, there are many parts of it that use the underlying system's UI, and so it feels like it could almost be a native app.
Also hitching their horse to dart was a poor move to get devs to switch over from swift/kotlin and JS.
