Does Flutter still render everything in a canvas? This has been a huge turn off for me.

Yes, and that's the main reason why I like it. You can do advanced UIs and animations that would otherwise be very annoying in other frameworks like React Native. Plus, a canvas makes it easy to port to other platforms like desktop and web because all you need is the ability to draw pixels on a screen.

Until a blind person contacts your support team to tell them your website/webapp is not working with their screen reader.

The lack of native scrolling kills it for me. It's painfully obvious using a flutter app on iOS, since the scrolling momentum is way off.

You never really think this stuff matters until you're exposed to it.

To be fair web content can also be ported easily pretty much everywhere because browsers run almost everywhere.
