> How could they prevent the framework become over bloated with semi baked plug-in?

...not sure how they plan to, but how they COULD do it is by making it easy enough to directly access native resources directly from the script language (like NativeScript) or by making it so easy to write native code (Kotlin/Swift are listed as first-class options) that you just write any specific API access code in the appropriate native language.

It doesn't give you the Electron "write once run everywhere" experience, since you need to write some of the code per-platform, but many apps are 95% UI and only 5% platform-specific functionality. So by abstracting the UI by having it be HTML/CSS/JavaScript, you're getting a "write once run everywhere UI" and the minority of the code that needs to differ is all you have to maintain per-platform.

If writing a plug-in is a high bar, then you get tons of semi-baked plug-ins as the (seemingly) only way to access native features. If instead you can drop in native code easily and quickly, then you can focus on app development and cut out the middleware. ;)
