My less cynical view (hope) maybe react-native isn't due for an update soon and they'll do it next time there's a version bump?

You don't need to update anything else besides the license when changing the license, though? There's no version bump required.

Isn't the license file part of the distributed .tar.gz, packaging metadata, and other release artifacts? It's bad form to change the contents of a release after it's distributed. So even a small change like that would require a (minor) version bump.
