See https://pub.dev/packages/fvm: Flutter Version Management: A simple cli to manage Flutter SDK versions. As for why, it's really not much of an inconvenience. If you switch to the git-based checkout of the Flutter repo, the switch between channels is just a "git branch" change away, so the expense really isn't there.
