Yes, Flutter is “sponsored” by other money making teams inside Google. It is why resources have been spent on Flutter for Web, which no one asked for - the Ads team essentially bought the feature for their usage. This was also how React Native got its start in Facebook. So my read of Flutter is it’s a way for talent to “ship and get promoted” inside Google or to support other Google product teams. Everyone else is a secondary priority.
