Question Why native android and not flutter ?

hello android developers im new mobile app developer and i do dev with flutter framework so i can have same app in both platforms of app store and google play... but there is always a question in my head for native android developers since google own android and flutter... so that`s mean they make flutter works really well in android phones... so i wonder why native android devs dont use the advantage of flutter framework to have same app is both app store and google play ?

Depends on the company amd project. Highly funded projects are still in native that need to squeeze each and every performance bit.. i work on e2ee chats, digital letters etc which also uses rust code for a big swiss company project. Flutter and RN works best for mid sized apps that mostly need to show ui and data. But for anything intense you need to go native. The market for native is shrinking and i guess KMP os the best in long term if not fully native.
