Native is fast , no extra layer , the problem is maintaining on every native platform your app available. And AI tooling can handle that efficiently today , not way back then.

The problem with xplat is they add extra layer on top of platform native.

- React native and similar, add extra js runtime engine.

- Flutter and Kotlin MP add extra skia graphics engine.

- Skiptools add extra swift runtime

- Cordova adn similar add extra browser engine

- Etc

> What you could do with Kotlin/Swift you can do with React Native as well.

In theory yes, in practice no. I mean, in theory you can do it in mips ASM and ship QEMU along with the app, in practice it makes no sense.

Others mention quicker startup of the app, more native-look, less head-ache w/ RN.
