The marketing literature begs to differ.

The Google's own Family Link app even on web[0] is also a Flutter app.

Damn, what have we come to. I cant select text from a webpage. This is not what our grandfathers fought for :(

Developers have control, if text is selectable or not. https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/SelectableText-clas...

FWIW developers have control over that on the web too.

What sucks is that the non-selectable text is apparently the default.

Ironically, that page just shows me "Something went wrong" which I guess proves your point somewhat.

Yes there's a mismatch. As a user one should dial down their expectations accordingly.

This is awful. Text is not selectable and the back button is broken. Nice work coming from a multi-billion $ company.

Wow, the first thing I’m met with is a terribly choppy scroll rubber banding animation on a view which shouldn’t even be scrollable. Not only isn’t it 120 FPS; it doesn’t even feel close to 60.
