Can We Trust Google About Flutter?
Outside of Google, there are also high profile uses of Flutter. BMW used Flutter for MyBMW (https://flutter.dev/showcase/bmw). An even more interesting use case for Flutter is the one being done by Toyota, who are using Flutter for their infotainment systems (https://flutter.dev/showcase/toyota). Finally, back to the tech industry, Canonical is using Flutter to develop Ubuntu's installer (https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer).

N things I love about Flutter
Work done by Canonical with their Desktop Installer, Sonos with the setup sequence, foldable support by Microsoft's Andrei Diaconu, Raspberry PI support and e-ink POC by Simon Lightfoot. The list could go on and on.

How to install 21.10 with non-uefi system?
I understand there's a new installer coming with Ubuntu 22.04 so maybe that will be an option for Kubuntu at some point.

Ubuntu 21.10 Testing Week
I can't speak with authority about the replacement Ubuntu Desktop Installer as whilst I'm involved with Ubuntu (and all flavors help each other), we don't always keep up with the technologies we aren't going to be using ourselves (I'm with the Lubuntu team that currently use calamares).
- Ubuntu is going full-on ahead with Flutter!

Ubuntu 21.04 Released
Presumably the new Ubuntu installer being built with Flutter:

Not sure if that's already in this version.

Why does almost all commercial software that chooses to support Linux use Snap instead of flatpak?

Cons of Using snap
The current Snap Store is not open source. The one you referenced is dead as proven by the repo you're article refers to: https://github.com/noise/snapstore/
-
Probono, creator of AppImage, in an attempt to get AppImage support, is banned from the OBS Studio organization on GitHub after downright rude comments and accuses them of supporting Flatpak because of the bounty offered by RH. "In any event, please do not bother our project anymore"
If you're referring to the old HOWTO article for hosting your own snap store server, the software it used to do that stopped working several years ago.

Can some one explain to me in basic terms why snaps are so disliked?
That's nice and all, but besides the complete lack of official serversoftware that can be hosted by anyone, I'm going to guess that forcing another URL would mean that it uses that repo INSTEAD OF the official one. With regular package managers and Flatpaks, that's not the case. You can add repo's in ADDITION to the originals with those. The only mention of a self-hostable snap server that I can find, is this one. However, it is an unofficial server and has been depreciated. In other words: it's not compatible/functional with the latest version of Snapd (the clientside) anymore and will remain like that.
- Are flatpaks the future? I tend to agree.

They used to have an example implementation here, though: https://ubuntu.com/blog/howto-host-your-own-snap-store https://github.com/noise/snapstore

Is releasing via Snap that bad?
interesting read. unfortunately, the 'snapstore' github project (here) that it links to now says:

After 1.5 years of using Ubuntu I decided to migrate to Fedora today... so yeah, hello world!
Your link is an blogpost from 2016 that points to: https://github.com/noise/snapstore README: snapstore was a minimalist example of a "store" for snaps, but is not compatible with the current snapd implementation. As a result I have removed the contents here to avoid further confusion.

Ubuntu 21.04 Released
In fact, Bret Barker has published an open source (Apache License) SNAP store on GitHub. We’re already looking at how to flesh out his proof-of-concept and bring it into snapcore itself.
