I guess but... I don't think that changes anything about the complaints that people have about this. What you're saying is a fact, but I don't think it's a relevant fact.
I'm looking over this thread, nobody has said that they're in a majority. We're just saying that Flutter's default behavior is bad for us, and that it encourages developers to make bad choices about text, and that it's pretty demonstrable that the average Flutter app has less selectable text than the average web app in general.
The fact that many companies will not care about this when weighing the technology is exactly why we're complaining. Because we don't want the web to suddenly become unusable for us just because we're in a minority of users.
It still doesn't make me feel any better or make me any less likely to complain to hear that my problems don't affect everyone else. It's not addressing the criticism, or explaining why I shouldn't be upset about Flutter's decision, or explaining why the current situation on the web is equivalent. It's just a polite way of saying, "yes this will affect you, but we don't care because we don't think you can do anything about it."
And yeah, it's probably true that this issue in specific is not going to cause Flutter to fail (there are plenty of other problems with Flutter on the web that will do that), but does that fact change anything about whether or not widespread Flutter adoption would make my web experience worse?
