The "hand" pointer used on websites has no precedent of being used outside Web apps. The default behavior of MaterialStateMouseCursor.clickable should be to only return SystemMouseCursors.click is the application is running in a web browser.

Use case

All non-web apps built with Flutter.

Proposal

In MaterialStateMouseCursor.clickable, only return the SystemMouseCursors.click cursor if kIsWeb == true.

    This could probably most cleanly be implemented in combination with #59575. I have a WIP PR open for that, really just need to get some tests passing

    I've asked this question to the Flutter Material team before the implementation and the response is that buttons should always display the "click" cursor, even on desktop.

    Anyway, the default decision would not matter as much if this option can be changed in the theming. :)

    The triaged-desktop label is irrelevant if there is no team-desktop label or fyi-desktop label.
