I think you're conflating a BS web dev culture (which is amplified extensively through the internet and feedback-loopy sites like HN) and actual development technologies.

There's always articles like you're mentioning. I mean, go look at articles when Swift was first announced - or even iOS tutorials and forums ca. 2011.

Sharing business logic is a good thing. But it's hardly the number one feature of react-native. We share almost everything, and have almost no problems doing so. It's been a very good thing for our org, while Xamarin was the opposite.

It's also worth noting that we ramped everyone up from being C# front-end to React/React-Native front-end. So nobody really came in as cutting-edge web dev experts, but our developer velocity now is insane. I think React/RN are good things.
