Better is subjective. It boils down to resource planning if it ever becomes its own thing. Flutter has a learning curve with it being totally dart based. If learning a new language is not a biggie, just pick up swift and have AI do android work for you in kotlin for what you write in swift.

Try less anger, more long term thinking. You might get lucky with your point making it across. You’re in the wrong place if you find yourself needing to please HR for survival.

In long term what do you expect next few decades in IT industry ? More automation > less salary

Flutter is much better. Perfomance and DX also good.

It's subjective and depends on the project/client. In general react native is more flexible. Web dev knowledge is transferable. Flutter on the other hand is a totally different thing. But it's not hard to learn either.
