It's less about code reuse across a full featured web application and a mobile application. The value comes in that once you master React or React Native, you can easily switch across platforms and be just as efficient. If you learn the ins and outs of Vue and gain depth of best practices / domain knowledge, you are stuck building only for the web.

If you do the same with React, you are then able to take those skills and build VR, Web, iOS, Android, Windows, and soon TVOS ++ many more in the future.

This, along with what has already been stated, is the value of using React vs Vue imo.

I don't see an issue of learning Vue and not being able to write native apps for iOS and Android as a valid one.

Weex quickly gets better and is maintained by Alibaba, a company of the same scale and with development resources comparable to Facebook or Google. NativeScript recently started work on Vue port, the project is already available for testing. That's excluding the Cordova solutions like Onsen and Framework 7 having official Vue ports.

To that, PWA slowly becomes the new trend for mobile development, native apps are not necessarily the optimal solution to every use case.

The "++ many more in the future" is an optimistic assumption. As much as I wish it to be fulfilled, same can be said about any other framework.
