Furthermore users don't care about the technology used to build the application if it works, that's the unfortunate reality.

Users are not knowledgable enough to know what technology was used to build a product, but many have repeatedly complained about non-native UIs.

Heck, Lotus Notes went from being a market leader to an also-ran and user complaints about UX to corporate IT departments definitely played a role in convincing those departments in switching away.

More recently, this also happened with many mobile apps made with cross platform/HTML5 toolkits. They got low review scores and low user engagement across many firms, prompting a switch to native.

Lotus notes UI issues were extraordinary. Nothing comparable to the native iOS vs Flutter app difference
