This doesn't help, desktop support was added 5 years ago, so that's longer than the age of flutter before that

Most of the team was laid off a few years ago.

This is not true on many levels:

  * Most of the team stayed at the company.
  * The layoffs hit mostly DevOps and infra people in Flutter team.
  * At least part of the laid off roles were moved offshore to Germany, India etc.
