There are a lot more JS and Native developers compared to Flutter/Dart developers in the West. Plus fear-mongering around Google dropping development of Flutter

  Anecdotaly I've found this to be true. The cause is probably multifaceted. Some things I noticed: - npm is legit slower in these countries - Flutter's easy and stable toolchain and great cross-platform support counts a lot more in countries with less specialization - lower on-disk footprint because no node_modules black hole, actually matters in countries without infinity disk size - smaller app bundles mean less mobile data Just some anecdotal observations, there are probably other factors too like inertia

    In a similar trend, in many big American companies you can often find that in US they list front-end, full-stack and other similar js positions while e.g. C++ positions are "offshored" to the teams e.g. in India.
