Flutter on Web is still mainly not accessible when it comes to screen readers, despite what anyone wants to make you believe.
I checked it last a couple of weeks ago on my Android phone, and the result was so poor, I didn't check with other platforms.
You need to "opt in" to accessibility as a user, so in the beginning you have one button visible to screen readers, then your screen reader sees that single button, then you need to "double tap to activate" to make the rest of the document screen readable.
Then, somehow they made a funky screen reader voice read stuff out loud, not my system's voice, with all the awkwardness and issues that come with it.
On lists, it only recognized the items that were on screen, if you had to "scroll", you are out of luck.
Now, I'm sure someone will come and tell me how I'm holding it wrong, but somehow, every website and even Flutter on mobile got the accessibility mainly right by default, on Flutter web the accessibility situation is very poor.
