Bundle size matters until it doesn't. Flutter is absolutely not suitable for web pages, but for web applications the situation is different. I was quite hesitant about Flutter web, up until around 3 years ago, the binary size being biggest concern. That was until I looked at Linear (which we used back then) and found out that the download is several times larger than whatever we were building with Flutter web, and nobody cared. I used to obsess about every kilobyte transferred, but I think at least when it comes to applications, that time might be over.

It has been like that since the very beginning (sky engine).

That is absolutely not true. Elements with dirty layouts are tracked and layout is only recomputed up to the neearest layout boundary.

I'm looking at the code but I don't quite see that?

  auto start= result.indexOf("http://");
  ...
  auto end= result.indexOf("\r", start);
  ...
  m_describeUrl= result.sliced(start, end - start);

I don't think end can ever be < start (other than < 0 if not found, which is handled).
