I have to be honest, not trolling at all, genuinely curious to me: I have the same opinion for the completely opposite reason! _without_ "Skia everywhere", Flutter for Web was annoying, because then there was this autogenerated CSS/JS and it might be _close_ to other Flutter platforms, but it often couldn't be 100% of what it was
I think its because we might be seeing it from two different points: i.e. you see Flutter Web using Skia is not consistent with _other websites and thus traditional webapps_, I see that Flutter Web using JS/HTML made it _not consistent with deployments of the same Flutter code to Android/iOS/Mac_
Definitely see that viewpoint and why it's problematic, would argue as an independent dev, would care much more about 100% self-consistency across my product line up for ease of support than whether people open the app in a web browser, you can right click on anything that looks like an image and download it.
Understand that viewpoint _also_ sounds like sacrilege, but as someone raised on iOS dev, reminds me of when Mac devs being upset over years as "iOS-isms" made their way to the desktop. I love that this approach is an example of solving hard problems over years, fixing a industry-wide yak shave that ended with you having 50 copies of chromium. solves the same problem Electron is solving with none of the downsides
