flutter started as a mobile framework, and mobiles didn't support multi windows back then

  This doesn't help, desktop support was added 5 years ago, so that's longer than the age of flutter before that

    Most of the team was laid off a few years ago.

      This is not true on many levels: * Most of the team stayed at the company. * The layoffs hit mostly DevOps and infra people in Flutter team. * At least part of the laid off roles were moved offshore to Germany, India etc.
