Cross platform does seem to be slowly eating away at native apps - if you look at a lot of big companies out there, all of them use cross platform - like GM uses React Native for their car apps, Microsoft uses it in their Office Suite, Skype, Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, Tesla and many many more.

It seems that if you play at scale and are a big company - you're pretty much on React Native or maybe Flutter though that doesn't make a ton of business sense imo.

I wonder at what point Apple looks at things and wonders why they even bother investing so much in Swift and SwiftUI. At which point they'll either

1. Leave it to dry on the vine

or

2. Go the other way and put in a "no cross platform frameworks" in their developer agreement and force companies to use native code.
