I am saying only production performance matters.

Dev environment performance is irrelevant. Why would the Flutter team take time to improve dev performance at all? There's no need for it and no reason, therefore even if they had made production 20x faster, the dev environment may be the exact same as before. Any speed improvements that "happen" to dev are accidental. Therefore it doesn't make sense to measure it.

It's a bit like a speed race with no tires on. You can race some cars with no tires on , and some will work better than others without tires, but it's not really measuring anything that has meaning.
