Why target one platform when your project can target all major platforms (web, iOS, Android, MacOS/Windows/Linux)? Especially if you're already experienced with React and can later hire from that monstrous talent pool?

Hell, instead of casting that wider net for users, you could still only release/focus on iOS, but still have tons of work done when you're ready to move your React app to those other platforms.

Because your app will equally suck on all platforms?

You might not be the target user - and actual target users might not care about the native vs react native app UX.

Because your app will work on all platforms and the rest of the billions of app users outside of this little niche-of-a-niche-of-a-niche forum just want to do whatever they need to get done on a app in their normal lives and don't even know what you are talking about when you say the app "sucks" because it doesn't use exactly the right rounded corners on a button or the listview scroll physics are exactly same as a "native" app.

Until the people wonder why it doesn’t do $x new feature that Apple released a year ago but there is no cross platform equivalent.

But more importantly, why it doesn’t take advantage of an accessibility feature that that a native app would get for free.
