Yep, you will keep hearing this from people complaining of Xamarin. A huge problem indeed, and I'd say enough for it not be worth learning.

Vs what? Native would be the same? And with native you have different languages. So which cross platform gives you that but with more code sharing? 25% (which is low, we are well over 60% in general) is more than 0% and you can work in F# to boot.
