When I go to flutter examples and go to the first one

https://flutter.github.io/samples/web/material_3_demo/

I find everything is rendered in a canvas. This means it's not accessibility friendly. It means none of my extensions work. It means no text can be selected (for example clicking the 3rd icon from the top left labeled "Typography". It also means none of the Browser/OS level features are available. I can't select a word and pick "look up" or "define" or "speak". It's shows ugly monochrome non native emoji. It takes second to show non-English characters while it downloads non-English fonts

How is this a win for the user?

I can’t speak for web but mobile apps written in Flutter are accessible https://docs.flutter.dev/ui/accessibility-and-internationali....
