Seems to me that as projects mature they require less effort too. It's hard to account for that since

Python started in 1989, it's older than Linux and it has a more narrow scope.

Python doesn't have a narrow scope. At least compared to Flutter. It's in so many places, from Linux installers, to medical, aerospace, math,... and finally the web (which is probably what we hear about the most).

But those are modules added on by developers other than the 50 core devs.

The standard library alone has a huge scope which includes a (mediocre) GUI toolkit.

I did not meant to start a pissing contest, I thought the biggest idea was that Flutter isn't 35yo and because of it, it's more likely to drastically change, and in a fast way too.

It includes another scripting language with a GUI toolkit. The Python part is just a shallow wrapper over third party code.

If only some homegrown GUI toolkits were half as good as Tcl/Tk.

Have you seen the python standard library? It ain't JavaScript kiddo
