I'd say it is good for apps, as long as the framework developer also adds those things you mentioned into the framework. Flutter currently has decent shortcuts and accessibility. Of course, if they don't add these in, then yes it will be worse than a DOM UI, if only because the DOM has been engineered over the past few decades to add these features in natively.
