I mean as long as the devices support them (which I imagine they do) there is a clear performance benefit here. I think there is concern that any work in this way to do general UI would involve basically re-inventing the core interaction points of the browser that we are used to. Things like accessibility etc.. I imagine any approach to do this in a general way basically would be building a DOM on top these technologies. You want declarative UIs etc... I think the biggest gap for them might simply being that they aren't the native implementation so there is always more work or code needed to run these. It is possible albeit unlikely at this point that a different standard could immerge.

I wanted to do some benchmarking with Flutter but the abstraction makes it hard to do apples to apples comparisons except with different versions of Flutter itself.
