To my knowledge, making cross-platform performant listviews is quite the challenge. I remember listening to a lot of xamarin engineers talk about the fickle performance gotchas with using them.

The platforms have different ways of exposing various attributes about list and list-items. The API designers then must focus on the trade-off of user friendliness vs control and performance. Thus far it's been about user friendliness, but now they are wading in the waters of control/performance.

That's the reason why there are multiple list views being added, instead of just a single one.
