I think the founders were just familiar with iOS development so that's what they built it in. My perspective is that RN is a risk and a tradeoff like any other, there are quite a lot of pain points of RN which make it less attractive than it initially seems upfront. If your product is highly dependent on mobile it's better to go native for maximum flexibility, capability and to remove one extra party that you need to depend on. I also feel like mobile teams tend to naturally divide between platforms at a certain size and if you're already at that point you may as well use the native frameworks.
