I feel like that's more a complaint about the JS frontend ecosystem as a whole. Every paradigm has its own pitfalls and idioms, and at least to me hooks seem better than class components most of the time. You exchange one set of pitfalls with another, and get more pleasant, more composable behavior overall. But compared to many GUI frameworks in other languages it still feels like a mess, and it's a mess that constantly changes from under you.

You're absolutely right. The native platforms aren't perfect, but they're stable and successful.
