I was going to make some point from the perspective of Free Software, but just look at how much spam / link juice is attracted to a post simply mentioning Flutter! Oh yeah, it's all teh new hotness, all right! 
Oh, who am I kidding, of course I am going to make my point from Free Software perspective.
All jokes aside, do these locked down platforms (the current incumbents, Android and iOS) really deserve developer attention? Not in my opinion. Do your development on Free platforms and under Free licenses. We finally have an opportunity / platform to do that now, why go backwards?
Of course, if you don't care about any of that, go on back to the (IMO, mundane) discussion of "market share", "features", and "business models", etc.
But ask yourself: Do you really want to make some proprietary app that no one is going to buy anyway? Or do you want to be a part of advancing the state of technology for the betterment of humanity?

What is Free Software and why is it so important for society?
Protocols, not Platforms
For the most Linux-y experience on your Linux phone, try SXMO!
I am (nominally) the Armbian Maintainer for PineBook Pro (although severely lacking in time these days).
